5.    Tie the jib sheet onto the jib clew by taking 

the jib sheet in the centre and passing the loop 
through the clew cringle. Pass the two free ends 
through the loop and pull tight. Ensure that 
the two rope ends are the same length.

6.    Thread one loose end of the jib sheet through 

the plastic fairlead on the port deck and the 
other through the corresponding fairlead on the 
starboard deck. (immediately aft of the mast 
buttress)

7.    Finally tie a Figure eight stopper knot in each 

loose end to prevent accidental unthreading 
when in use.

10. Fitting The Rudder Assembly

1.    Insert the aft/rear end of the tiller arm tube in 

to the rudder head tiller arm hood travelling in 
a forward to aft/rearward direction.

2.    Line up the tiller arm retaining screw hole with 

its corresponding recess/hole on the uppermost 
aft/rear surface of the rudder head tiller arm 
hood.

3.    Locate the tiller arm retaining screw, driving it 

carefully through both the rudder head and the 
tiller arm. 

4.    Clip the tiller extension to its mounting bracket 

on the uppermost forward surface of the tiller 
arm. 

5.    Take the rudder assembly and pass the tiller 

extension and tiller arm under the mainsheet 
bridle strop at the aft/stern edge of the boat.

6.    Lower the rudder head assembly onto the rudder 

gudgeons situated on the stern/transom of the 
boat. 

7.    Ensure the integral rudder gudgeon clip (blue) 

is successfully engaged, resulting in the rudder 
head automatic “clicking” in to place securely.

8.    Fit the secondary rudder retaining split ring 

through the upper pintle pin.

Note:

 To remove the rudder assembly from the 

transom gudgeons, the rudder retaining split ring 
must be removed and the integral rudder gudgeon 
clip (blue) pressed inward.
