SHEETING SETUP

1 Adjust the bowsies on the mainsheet bridle to position the metal sheeting ring centrally in the position shown in photo 1. It is essential

for consistent sheeting angle on both port and starboard tacks (When looking forward from the back of the boat if the wind is coming

over the right hand side if the hull you are sailing on starboard tack).

2 For initial sheet setup of both the Jib and Mainsheet, pull the winchline in to its close-hauled (sheeted fully in) position and don't move it

until both sheets are fully installed.

3 Cut a 600mm length of Dyneema for the Mainsheet. Tie a loop in one end and clip it in to the Winch Line Clip(a), run it forward and

through the metal ring on the Mainsheet Bridle(b), up through the Mainsheet Guide(c) on the Mainboom, back along the boom through

the 'O' Ring(d), through the first two holes in a Bowsie(e), back through the first hole in the Boom Joiner(f) and forward through the final

hole in the Bowsie(g). With the Mainboom positioned on the hull's centreline, position the bowsie approximately midway between (c) & (f)

and tie off the final knot to secure the Bowsie.

4 Cut an 850mm length of Dyneema to form the Jibsheet. Tie a loop in one end and clip it in to the Winch Line Clip(a), run it forward

underneath the Mainsheet Bridle(b), forward through Deck Eye 3(c), up through Jibsheet Guide(d), run it forwards underneath the

Jib Boom, through the 'O'Ring(e), through the first two holes of a Bowsie(f), forward and through the rear hole in the Boom Joiner(g)

and back through the final hole in the Bowsie(h). Hold the back end of the Jib Boom over the edge of the Hull (Gunwhale), position the

Bowsie approximately midway between (d) & (g) and tie the final knot to secure the Bowsie.

5 With the Winchline still in its fully sheeted in position adjust the Bowsies on the Jibsheet and Mainsheet so the boom rear ends are

in the positions shown in Diagram 5 (opposite page). If you have the 128mm of winchline travel set up when you sheet out the booms

should be approximately in positions shown.

You should now almost have a fully set up rig. The only trimming left to do is to adjust the amount of twist in the leeches (back edges) of

both sails. The twist in the Mainsail can be controlled by adjusting the metal Compression Strut, the Jib twist is controlled by adjusting the

Bowsie at the bottom of the Topping Lift. It's hard to define the amount of twist in figures, but the photos on the opposite page show a well

adjusted rig with correct twist and boom sheeting angles. If you can match this rig setting you will have a well balanced and easy to sail boat.

6 Before you put the boat on the water fit the clear Deck Hatch and seal with one of the supplied adhesive Deck Patches. An easy

method to do this is to lay the adhesive Deck Patches face down on a smooth, hard surface, peel back the backing paper and place

the clear Deck Hatch upside down in the centre of the patch. Turn over and locate in the Deck Hatch Opening in the deck, make sure

the adhesive patch is pressed down to form a waterproof seal around the hatch. You are now ready to sail!
