Halyard location: 106"-107" measured upwards on the upper spar starting at the point where the black cap meets the upper spar on the bottom. Lowering halyard location raises the height of the boom above the deck. This adds power to the sail. Increasing the distance from the bottom to the halyard location will do the opposite. Make sure the line does not slip. Apply electrical tape on top of it.

* In light air, do not overtight the halyard because it may cause the mast to twist.

Head location: Measure 160" on the upper spar starting at the point where the black cap meets the spar on the bottom and tie the head of the sail in this position. Keep the luff loose, so you have power for sailing downwind, especially in light air.
Gooseneck: You can set the gooseneck between 12" and 22" but I recommend starting at 14" or 16” from the point where the black cap meets the boom at the front.

- Locate Outhaul Cleat on starboard side of the boom at 64” (from the front of cleat to where the front end cap meets the spar.)
- Locate Cunningham cleat on bottom of the boom at 41” (from the front of the cleat to where front the end cap meets the spar.)

Aluminum cleats with roller fairlead work better. Use a thimble where you tie the loops on both controls, so it makes the line running smoother. Spray Mclube or dry lubricant on the spars.    Do not spray Mclube on the gooseneck area (boom and mast)

Lines

Mainsheet: 33 feet of ¼ for light air or 5/16 for medium/heavy wind. 5/16 will be better as all-purpose line. (Polypropylene line with spectra core. e.g. Yale light, rooster ropes, or ultra light Samson.) My choice; ¼ rooster ropes. Don’t use polyester or dacron lines. They are heavier and soak a lot of water.

Halyard: 24 feet of 3/16” or 1/8” spectra 100% ( AmSteel 12 – Samson) or any line with polyester cover and spectra or dynema core. …My choice would be 1/8 spectra, but it’s very skinny, so it’s hard to tighten.

Outhaul: 25 feet of 7/64’’ spectra or dynema line (AmSteel 12 – Samson)
Cunningham: 15 feet of 7/64’’ spectra or dynema line (AmSteel 12 – Samson)

Replace sail clips with the 1,75 mm or 2,5 mm 100% spectra line. Leave 1/16" or more of a gap between the spars and the sail grommets. Leave a bigger gap where the halyard is tied on the upper spar. Use longer sail ties (twice around the spars) on the clew tie-down, head, cunningham grommet and tack.

* important: Replace supplied tiller extension with an longer one (about 42 inches)
