Unfold the mainsail and lay on a flat clean surface. Undo the set of battens and identify
which batten goes in which batten pocket. Insert the battens into the pockets. Using the
batten ties secure each batten into it’s respective pocket (as per drawing). Push the bat-
tens in reasonably hard - sufficient to remove any wrinkles from the pocket.
NOTE : it is important to relieve the tension on the battens after each day’s sailing. This
will prolong the life of the sail.

Place the sail on the trampoline, the battens clips towards
the back. Undo the main halyard wire from the mast and
shackle it to the head board of the mainsail. Now, feed the
bolt rope at the head of the sail into the cut out in the sail
track on the mast.
Now, pull on the main halyard line whilst feeding the sail into
the track cut out.
MAINSAIL
BEFORE RAISING THE MAINSAIL, MAKE SURE THAT THE BOAT IS POINTING INTO THE WIND. IF THE
WIND CHANGES DIRECTION, MOVE THE BOAT.
When the sail is all the way up, position
the stopper on the wire halyard so that it
engages in the halyard lock. Attach the
main halyard rope to one of the white
cleat at the bottom of the mast.
Then take the downhall rope and attach it
to the sail tack grommet near the mast.
Pass the line down and through the cen-
ter of the downhaul cleat on the mast.
Run the line up
to the grommet and tie off.
