JIB BOOM SETUP

Counterweight

Jib Boom

Front End Fitting

1 Set the Jib Sheet Guide and Silicon Ring SR1 to the position shown above.

2 Cut a 450mm length of Dyneema to form the Jib Boom hook-down. Tie a loop of approximately 25mm length in one end and secure

the knot with a drop of CA glue. Make a mark at 65mm from the end of the knot.

3 Thread the Hook-Down line as shown in photo 3. Start by threading the loose end of the cord up through the lower, central eye in the

Boom Joiner, then through the top, central eye, back down through the lower eye again, lead it forwards along the underside of the

Boom, through the first two holes in a Bowsie, through the rear of the two eyes in the Front End Fitting and take it back through the

final hole in the Bowsie. Do not tie off the final knot until completing the following stage. Adjust the cord so that the mark you made is

positioned at the lower edge of the Boom Joiner and set the Bowsie midway between the front end fitting and the boom joiner and tie

off the final knot to secure the Bowsie.

Note: When the full rig is completed the easiest way to install the rig is as follows:

Insert the Mast into the Mast Socket in the Hull.

Compression Strut

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

Compression Strut

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.

Hook the Backstay on to the Backstay Hook in the Transom and tension the Backstay Bowsie.

When de-rigging do the reverse of this process. Using this rigging procedure there is no need to adjust the Forestay tension so the

correct rig trim is quick and easy to achieve.

RIGGING THE JIB

4 Cut a 200mm length of Dyneema and tie one end to the front hole in the Backstay Crane. Tie one of the 6mm Metal Rings to the other

end at a distance of 15mm from Backstay Crane hole.

5 Remove the Counterweight from the front end of the Jib Boom, make sure it is screwed on tightly to it's metal shaft and secure the

thread with a drop of thin CA glue.

Note: At this stage make sure the Jib Luff is free to slide on it's wire Forestay. If it is sticking at any point gently free it off taking care not to

crease the sail.

6 Push the Counterweight shaft through the loop in the bottom of the wire Forestay and back into the Front End Fitting leaving

approximately 5mm of shaft showing.

7 (Not shown - see photo 9 on page 6) Hook the eye in the Jib Clew (bottom rear corner) onto the Jib Clew Hook.

8 (Not shown - see photo 10 on page 6) Using a pair of thin nosed pliers close up slightly the open end of the hook to prevent the 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.

9 Cut a 250mm length of Dyneema to form the Jib Cunningham (downhaul at the lower front corner of the sail). Start by tying one end to

the lower front hole in the Boom Joiner(a), take it forwards through the first two holes in a Bowsie(b), then forward through the front eye

in the Front End Fitting(c), up through the sail eyelet(d) and back down through the eye(c) again and back through the final hole in the

Bowsie(e). Set the Bowsie in a central position and adjust the cord to form a gap of 5mm between the bottom edge of the sail and the

top edge of the Front End Fitting and tie off the final knot to secure the Bowsie.
