batten ties. Batten tension can be varied to suit per-
sonal preference or sailing conditions.
Q
Point the boat directly into the wind. Attach the halyard
shackle to the head of the sail and feed the luff (leading
edge) into the opening in the mast track. Continue
pulling the halyard and feeding the sail into the track
until it reaches the top.

<;J
When the sail is all the way up, pull the halyard forward
sufficient for the stop sleeve to clear the halyard hook.
FIGURE 39
Once the sleeve is past the hook, position the halyard
so that the sleeve will engage the hook when you
release tension. That done, route the halyard from
the front to the starboard side, and around behind the
starboard shroud and trapeze wires. Secure it to the
mast cleat and stow the excess line (see Figure 41).
