STEP BY STEP <strong>RIGGING</strong><br />
1. Feeding the mast<br />
a. Fit both parts of your mast together and<br />
run your fingers over the join to check<br />
that it is smooth.<br />
b. Slide the mast into the luff<br />
pocket without threading<br />
it onto the cams and with<br />
the mast above both the<br />
sail body and battens.<br />
04<br />
c. Feed the mast in until it runs into the<br />
leading edge of the luff sleeve. Don’t<br />
force it all the way up the sleeve while<br />
holding the bottom of the sail. Instead<br />
walk up the sail and hold the mast with<br />
one hand (through the boom opening).<br />
Reach out with your other hand and grab<br />
the top of the sail as far up the luff as<br />
possible. Hold the luff sleeve and gently<br />
pull it down over the mast until it is<br />
stopped by the head cap.
d. Next, walk to the top and check if the<br />
head cap is properly inserted into the<br />
mast (see picture).<br />
e. And then go to the bottom of the sail<br />
and pull out the slack using the handle<br />
on the tack fairing.<br />
f. Run your fingers over the luff<br />
sleeve at the join in the mast<br />
to check it is still fitted together<br />
properly.<br />
2. Attach extension and apply<br />
down-haul<br />
a. Attach extension and thread the<br />
down-haul through the mast base and<br />
the sail (according to the instructions).<br />
b. Apply enough down-haul so that the<br />
mast is exposed through the boom<br />
opening (approx 12cm less than the<br />
maximum setting).<br />

3. Putting the cams onto the mast<br />
a. Put the boom on first. Set the boom to<br />
the recommended setting printed on<br />
the bottom of the sail. Next, clamp the<br />
boom on the mast and apply a little bit<br />
of out-haul tension. (approx 5cm)<br />
06<br />
b. If there are zippers on the luff sleeve<br />
make sure they are open before applying<br />
the cams.
c. For each cam put one hand on the<br />
sail body just on the edge of the mast<br />
sleeve, while your other hand goes<br />
under the cam supporting the cam<br />
with whole palm of your hand. Make<br />
sure the whole palm of your hand is<br />
under the cam. Push down gently with<br />
the hand on the edge of the sleeve<br />
while the hand under the cam pushes<br />
the cam forward a little and it will go<br />
on to the mast easily.<br />
d. Close the zipper.<br />
4. Finish Rigging<br />
a. Apply down-haul and out-haul to your<br />
preferred setting.<br />
b. For RS:Slalom users loop the tack strap<br />
around the base and apply tension.<br />
Now you are ready to go!<br />

DE-<strong>RIGGING</strong><br />
1. Tack Strap<br />
08<br />
If using the RS:Slalom be sure to<br />
remove the tack strap before de-rigging<br />
the sail. Leaving the tack strap on while<br />
releasing the down-haul tension will<br />
damage the sail.<br />
2. Release out-haul tension<br />
Take off the out-haul tension in order to<br />
remove the boom.<br />
3. Remove boom from the mast<br />
and sail<br />
4. Open the cam zippers
5. Release down-haul<br />
Before releasing down-haul check again<br />
to see if the tack strap is off the mast base.<br />
Put your foot on top of the extension; pull<br />
the down-haul line up and out of the cleat.<br />
Release down-haul tension gently so the<br />
cams come off the mast one by one to<br />
prevent possible damage to the sail or mast.<br />
Note: The cambers will pop off the mast quite loudly<br />
- this is normal.<br />
6. Take the mast out of the sail<br />
Pull the mast out of the sail while using<br />
the de-rigging loop on the top of the<br />
sail. Make sure that you twist the mast<br />
for easy removal from the sleeve.<br />

7. Rolling up the sail<br />
a. When rolling the sail be sure to flatten out<br />
the mast sleeve to have the fold on the seam<br />
on the leading edge. Also while rolling up the<br />
sail make sure the luff sleeve stays flat.<br />
10<br />
b. After rolling up the sail apply the<br />
elastic around the toggle to make<br />
sure the sail stays rolled up tightly.
REMOVING A CAMBER<br />
1. Choose the cam you want to remove<br />
and pull the corresponding batten<br />
out from the pocket by about 15cm.<br />

Do this by pulling the zip forward and<br />
pushing the cam back while at the<br />
same time pulling the cam up.<br />
4. Push the batten back in and close<br />
the bat cam.<br />
5. Close the cam zipper.<br />
Complete the process reversing step<br />
