Attaching the Sail Continued:
6. Using two more corner ties, secure the tack of
the sail to the boom and the mast (Figure 14).
7. Be sure to adjust the corner ties in order to get
the red mark on the luff of the sail to fit between
the two blue stripes on the mast (Figure 15).
8. Continue tying the sail ties onto the boom. Tie
the sail ties tight enough that you can place two
fingers between the boom and the sail (Figure 16).
9. Tie off the last corner tie to the clew of the
sail.
Rigging the Outhaul:
1. Locate the outhaul line. Tie a stopper knot in one end. Lead the free end of the line through the port hole in the boom end cap
(Figure 17).
2. Continue the line through the clew grommet and back through the open hole in the boom cap (Figure 18).
3. Lead the line forward along the starboard side of the boom and through the v-cleat (Figure 19). Cleat off and tie a stopper knot in the
end of the line.

4. Lead the two ends back around to the front of the mast and secure with a square knot (Figure 24).

Boom Retainer:
1. Locate boom retaining line
from the line bag. Tie a stopper
knot in one end of the line.
Lead the line up through the
starboard hole in the boom jaw
(Figure 25).
2. Lead the free end of the line
around to the port side hole in
the boom jaw. Thread the line

secure with a stopper knot
(Figure 26).
