Laser Performance Pico, Rigging Manual

Sail Number positioning – 

Race Sails (Optional extra)

4. Rigging The Mast and Cunningham

1.    Lay the sail on a flat surface starboard side up.
2.    The numbers on the starboard side are always 

higher than the port side.

3.    Measure 60 mm below the middle batten and 

draw a line parallel to the batten pocket.  
This marks the top line for the starboard  
sail numbers.

4.    Measure 70mm from the leach and draw a line 

parallel to the leach and perpendicular to the 
line previously drawn.

5.    Position the starboard sail numbers starting 

with the first digit squared to the top and  
leach lines.

6.    The remaining numbers should be square to the 

previous number and 60 mm apart. 

7.    Turn the sail over and mark a line on the port side 

of the sail 60 mm below the starboard numbers. 

8.    Starting with the last digit, work from the leach 

line and position the sail numbers 60 mm apart 
as above.

1.    Insert the upper mast into the lower mast, 

making sure that the red arrows align.

2.    Thread the jib halyard through the halyard plate 

eye on the upper mast. 

3.    Take one end of the halyard and pass it through 

the halyard cleat on the port side of the lower mast 
before temporarily tying the 2 free ends together.

4.    Unfold the mainsail (try to keep it clean and dry)  

and sleeve it over the top of the mast and jib 
halyard, making sure that the mast stays together. 

5.    Slide the sail over the mast, with the 

cunningham D-ring on the sail facing forward 
in line with the cleats at the bottom front face 
of the mast.

6.    Take care to ensure the upper edge of the 

topmast goes right to the head/top of the sail 
until it bears up against the webbing strap at 
the very top of the luff tube aperture.

7.    If you are using the Race Sail, (Option) insert 

the 3 battens into the batten pockets ensuring 
that the batten ends engage into the fold at the 
outer edge of each batten pocket.
