gennaker
on the
port
-hand side of the boat, pass the end of the
gennaker
downhaul
through the small eyelet in the centre of the
gennaker
, from the inside to
outside.

gennaker
downhaul
line up the outside of the
gennaker
.
• Take the
gennaker
downhaul
bobble from the customer pack and
thread the
downhaul
through it. Place the

downhaul
bobble approximately 200 mm from the end of the
downhaul
, and
tie it in place with a single overhand knot.
•Tie the end of the
gennaker
downhaul
onto the upper
patch (cross of webbing) using a bowline. If you find that the
gennaker
does not come all the way down, shorten the
distance between the bobble and the patch.
• Find the middle of the
gennaker
sheet and double it over to
form a loop.
• Pass this loop through the eyelet at the clew of the
gennaker
.

gennaker
sheet through the loop and pull it tight.
