MAINSAIL
Tie the head of the sail to the lower aft-most hole in the Mast Top, Part 20. Head of the sail should be about ¼ inch below the Mast Top. Tie the mainsail downhaul string to the tack hole in the sail using knot B. Run the line down through the smaller holes in the gooseneck and vang plate, then outward to port through the hole in the cleat. Thread a bowsie onto the line, lead the line forward through Eyelet #1 and then back to the bowsie. Tie the clew to the aft-most black boom ring. Secure the luff to the mast using a simple loop of string and a square knot through the hole in luff and around the mast. Tie the loops so there is a space of ~1/8" between the mast and the luff.
For Removable Rig
Run the mainsail downhaul string down through the holes in the gooseneck and vang plate, but fasten it on #1 Cleat using Knot C.
