10 Slacken off the Bowsie adjuster on the Jib Hook-Down, thread the loop through the front Deck Eye (Deck Eye 1), lead it back through

Deck Eye 2 and hook the loop over the Jib Deck Hook. Tighten the hook-down Bowsie to get the Jib Boom as low to the deck as possible.

11 Cut a 200mm length of Dyneema to form the top of the Forestay. Tie one end to the wire loop in the top of the Forestay wire, thread up

through the first two holes of a Bowsie, through the metal ring and back through the final eye of the Bowsie. Pull some tension into the

Forestay and tie off the final knot in the Bowsie with the Bowsie positioned about 10mm from the metal ring. When secured, pull down

to apply more tension into the Forestay until the Luff of the Jib starts to wrinkle. Cut a 150mm length of Dyneema and tie the top eyelet

in the jib to the wire loop in the Forestay with enough tension to remove the wrinkles in the sail's Luff.

Note: Before tying the sail head ensure the gap is still 5mm between the Jib Foot and the top of the Front End Fitting. After this is complete,

the Bowsie on the Jib Cunningham can then be used to fine tune the tension in the Jib Luff.

12 Now set the mast rake (angle) by adjusting the Forestay Bowsie to obtain the dimensions shown in the rig diagram on the next page.

To achieve these measurements you will have put a lot of tension into the Forestay and Backstay. This tension is needed to keep the rig

stable which will give you consistent handling characteristics in different wind conditions.

13 Cut a 1000mm length of Dyneema to form the Topping Lift. Start by tying one end to the metal ring in the Forestay (See photo 11). Then

tie the bottom end of the cord to the ring attached to the Bowsie adjuster at the back end of the Jib Boom. Adjust the Bowsie to allow a

little slack in the Jib Leech (back edge).

14 Adjust position of Silicon Rings SR2/3 and the Jib Clew Hook so the Jib 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.

At this stage you have completed the rigging, the next sections will cover the fitting of 'Sheets' (control lines) to the Booms and setting the

rig up for best performance and boat trim.
