3 Fit the wire Mainsail Luff Rings to all six eyelets down the Mainsail Luff (front edge).

4 Slide the Mast Stub into the base of the Mast, taking care that the bevelled edge of the plastic collar is facing downwards.

5 Slide the whole Main Boom assembly on to the Mast Stub from below.

6 Starting with the lower Mainsail Luff Ring, slide all rings down the Mast.

7 Push the Backstay Crane and Masthead Plug assembly into the top of the Mast. Cut a 250mm length of Dyneema and tie the head of

the Mainsail to the Backstay Crane as shown. Align the top of the sail with the top of the metal mast reinforcement ring. Note: Tie this

with only a single strand of Dyneema, this will allow the head of the sail to swivel easily when the boat is running with the wind and the

booms are sheeted out at 80º.

8 Cut a 300mm length of Dyneema and tie the Cunningham (downhaul) as shown. Start by tying one end to the eye in the top of the

Gooseneck fitting, take the cord through the eye at the bottom of the Mainsail Luff, back through the Gooseneck eye, lead it back along

the Boom, through a Bowsie and the eye in the Compression Strut fitting and finish off back through the Bowsie.

9 Hook the eye in the Mainsail Clew (bottom rear corner) onto the Mainsail Clew Hook.

10 Using a pair of thin nosed pliers close up slightly the open end of the Hook to prevent the sail eye slipping off the hook when sailing.

Note: This can be opened out again with a flat bladed screwdriver if you need to remove the sail.

11 Cut a 900mm length of Dyneema for the Backstay. Tie one end to the end hole in the Backstay Crane (see photo 7). Tie one of the

supplied 6mm metal rings to the bottom end (see photo 12). Slide the Mast and rigged Mainsail into the Mast Socket in the deck.

12 To make the adjustable lower section of the Backstay, cut a 500mm length of Dyneema, tie a loop in one end, thread the other end

through the first two holes in a Bowsie, then through the metal ring at the bottom of the Backstay and finish of back at the Bowsie. Hook

the loop into the metal hook in the Transom (back edge of the hull), apply a light tension to the Backstay, position the Bowsie roughly

midway along the lower cord and tie it off

13 Adjust the Compression Strut so that the Leech (back edge) of the Mainsail is under light tension and then back it off a turn to allow the

Leech to twist slightly. Adjust the Cunnigham to apply very light tension down the Luff of the sail.

14 Set the length of the Backstay as shown in the diagram opposite.

15 Adjust position of Silicon Rings SR5 & SR6 and the Mainsail Clew Hook so the Mainsail Foot can form a curve with a distance of

approximately 25mm between the centre of the boom tube and the sail foot at its midpoint.
