HOBIE CAT 16
Mainsheet system
The mainsheet system is already mounted when delivered with
your boat.
We indicate hereunder the way to thread it, in case that you need
to change the line.
Shackle the boom block to the boom block hanger. Shackle the
ratchet block to the traveller car (the jam cleat facing inboard).
•
Tie a eight figure knot at the end of the mainsheet and feed
it through the upper strap of the ratchet block and then,
•
up into the first sheave of the boom block from front to rear
•
down into the first sheave of the ratchet block from front to
rear
•
up into the second sheave of the boom block from rear to
front
•
down into the second sheave of the ratchet block from front
to rear
•
up into the third sheave of the boom block from rear to front
•
down into the third sheave of the ratchet block from rear to front
Feed it then into the lower strap of the cam cleat of
the ratchet block. Run the free end of the
mainsheet through the cam cleat of the aft
crossbar, through the traveller car from inside to
outside, and the dead eye behind the cam cleat. Tie
a figure eight knot to secure the line.
Sheet in and out to see if all is well mounted.
