Deck Control Lines

Use four different colour lines if possible to make it easier to find the right control line
at those crazy mark roundings.

 

Follow the diagram for rigging order. I
highly recommend rigging the Outhaul
control line through the top tank block
(as shown).

Therefore, when you rig your boat after traveling, you just reach for the top block
and tie on your Outhaul line from your
boom. This makes it hard to cross the
other inside control lines.


Mainsheet

Move the Boom eye staps for your mainsheet system as close together as possible
and center it above your traveler. Basically, if your system is rigged at an angle you
are not only attempting to pull the boom down but over. This feels like twice as
much work to pull in your sail – and in fact is.

Tie your mainsheet off to the first eye strap rather than a becket on your upper
mainsheet block. This way, if one of your eye straps fail or shifts you can still sheet in
your boom.
