COMMISSIONING

Tying Soft Attachment Lines

You must lace line around the furler/halyard swivel three times

when attaching the sail or halyard.
Harken recommends us of a Hunter's Bend. This knot can

be highly tensioned without slipping and like a bowline can

be untied afterwards. There are other bends and knots that

will also work.
Lace line three times around the torque tube/halyard swivel

to capture sail or halyard. After lacing line, tie ends on side

opposite sail.

1 Form a loop in line that comes from left tunnel. Below this,

form a second loop with line from the right tunnel.

2 Twist loop clockwise and arrange ends of line so they are

below standing loops as shown.
