Cunningham; Before Launching; Sail Care Tips - Vanguard ZUMA Rigging Manual

Tie a figure eight knot in one end of the cunningham and thread
the other end forward through the clam cleat and fairlead just aft
of the mast. Thread the end up through the grommet in the sail
and secure it to the gooseneck.
KEEP THE CUNNINGHAM CLEATED AND TIGHT AT ALL TIMES, SO
THE MAST WILL STAY IN THE BOAT IN THE EVENT OF A CAPSIZE.
Lock the rudder up and attach it to the boat by passing the tiller
under the traveler and lining up the rudder pin with the pintles. The
bottom groove should fit into the bottom pintle, and when you
push down on the spring loaded pin, the top groove will slide into
the top pintle. Release the spring and lock the rudder in place,
making sure the rudder is securely connected to the boat at both
top and bottom.
Once in the water, slide the daggerboard into the daggerboard
trunk. (You will have to turn the boat sideways to the wind to keep
the boom clear.) Drop it down as much as depth permits, and push
the daggerboard retainer against the board.
When approaching shallow water, pull up the daggerboard as
much as possible without obstructing the boom. After you hop
out of the boat, remove the daggerboard and place it in the
boat. To remove the rudder, push down on the pin and lift it off.
Once the boat is on land, remove the vang from the boom, undo the
outhaul and clew tiedown line, and drop the sail. If the boat is stay-
ing put, you can leave the mast and boom on the boat; just tight-
en up the mainsheet so that the boom won't separate from the hull.
If the boat is traveling somewhere, you must remove the mast and
boom.

Outhaul (leave attached to boom)
All gear should be rinsed, if sailing in salt water, and the sail should
be allowed to dry before it is rolled up. Removing the battens from
the pockets between uses will increase the life of the elastic that
holds them in. Make sure the window is not creased when you fold
the sail.
