Lean the mast forward, against the deck. e. Free the forestay and attach it. f. Free the shrouds and trapeze, ensure not twisted, and attach them. g.

Attach the tack and head of the jib. b. Run the foot of the main sail through the boom, attach the clew and tack. i. On some boats the tack can only be attached after the boom is secured in the gooseneck. ii. On some of the boats it is easier to hoist the mainsail and latch its halyard first, and only then attach the gooseneck and the tack. c. Attach the all 3 ends of the spinnaker and bag it. i. Note: the spinnaker lines should be the outermost, while its halyard stays close to the mast (between the jib lines). ii. Ensure the halyards are not twisted. d. Hoist the jib and attach the halyard cable loop to the tensioner hook. i. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure the hook catches the metal cable loop and not the messenger line!!! e.

  • Sailing Course Materials Overview
    SAILING COURSE MATERIALS OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The NCSC has an unusual ownership arrangement -- almost unique in the USA. You sail a boat jointly owned by all members of the club. The club thus has an interest in how you sail. We don't want you to crack up our boats. The club is also concerned about your safety. We have a good reputation as competent, safe sailors. We don't want you to spoil that record. Before we started this training course we had many incidents. Some examples: Ran aground in New Jersey. Stuck in the mud. Another grounding; broke the tiller. Two boats collided under the bridge. One demasted. Boats often stalled in foul current, and had to be towed in. Since we started the course the number of incidents has been significantly reduced. SAILING COURSE ARRANGEMENT This is only an elementary course in sailing. There is much to learn. We give you enough so that you can sail safely near New Castle. Sailing instruction is also provided during the sailing season on Saturdays and Sundays without appointment and in the week by appointment. This instruction is done by skippers who have agreed to be available at these times to instruct any unkeyed member who desires instruction. CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE When you "check-out" we give you a key to the sail house, and you are then free to sail at any time. No reservation is needed. But you must know how to sail before you get that key. We start with a written examination, open book, that you take at home.

  • 420 Tuning Hints
    420 Tuning suggestions College of Charleston 2012 Boat Setup on land: 1) Before sailing check that your shroud pin/ring dings are taped and secure, your tiller extension universal is solid, there’s no wiggle in your pintles and your hiking straps knots secure. 2) Tie your main halyard to the head of your main with a figure eight through the headboard grommet and then a half hitch back around the halyard. (see picture) 3) Hoist your jib and tension the rig tightly by placing a foot on the bow and pulling on the head stay while your team mate tensions the jib halyard. Don’t be afraid to over tension at this point as you’ll double check and most likely reset the tension once on the water. It’s easier to loosen once sailing than to tighten it! 4) Hoist your main and tension the halyard tightly. Use the 2:1 purchase to sock it up tight to the top of the mast. Again, it’s much easier to set it up tight on the dock than to rehoist once sailing! Set up on the water, before the start: 1) Trim your sails and head upwind. 2) Watch/study your leeward shroud as it is your guide to proper rig tension (through jib halyard tension). 3) Ideally the leeward shroud will just start to slacken to the point a slight wiggle (not more than ½”) is visible when the main is sheeted to maximum trim for the breeze/conditions at that time. Note: The advantage of using the “leeward shroud wiggle” is that you can gauge the amount of tension based on a given condition.
