Insert the white halyard in the pocket as shown on
the photograph and close it using the zip. Attach
the black halyard to the pulley that is at the end of
the white halyard using a bowline knot.

8

Hoist the gennaker by pulling the black halyard.
Once the gennaker is up, replace the black line by
the small grey and yellow line.
In order that the gennaker furls correctly, a very
hard tension must be applied on the grey and
yellow line.

Attach one end of this line to the shackle that is
on the top of the furler, and lead the other end
through the cleat that is at the tack point of the
gennaker. Once the tension is adjusted, stop the
line with knots on the cleat.
