Mainsail
1
Always point your Hobie directly into the wind before you raise the mainsail.
Unfold the mainsail onto the trampoline and insert each batten into its respective pocket. The battens are numbered (from 1 to 7) the smallest (N ° 1) goes at the top of the sail and the longest (N° 7) at the bottom of the sail. Attach the batten end caps with the batten lines as shown on the photos.
2
Undo the main halyard rope which is rolled around the mast. Pass one end through the hole in the mainsail head plate and stop with a 8 figure knot.
3
Go onto the trampoline. Feed the luff of the mainsail into the opening of the mast track ensuring that the hook is on one side of the mast and the halyard rope on the other side. Raise the mainsail by pulling the ha- lyard and feeding the sail until it reaches the top. When the sail is all the way up, turn the mast slightly to the left in order to hook on the mainsail. Insert the bottom end of the luff into the base of the mast track. Roll up the halyard rope and place it into the pocket on the trampoline at the foot of the mast.
