![]() (You want the sleeve lines to be on the boat side or windward side of the sail – not on the outside or leeward side of the sail.)ġ3. MAKE SURE the control halyard in on the boat side of the sail. Secure the control halyard (downhaul line) of the sleeve to the deck (bow cleat etc.) Put a pre-measured mark (tape) on the control halyard so you know what the correct amount of line is. You can hoist from this position and keep one hand on the sleeve to control its swinging.ġ2. ![]() If the sleeve tends to “twist” when hoisted try securing the turtle to a shroud behind the main sail. If your course is going to be more of a beam to close reach put the turtle further aft on the lee side of the boat.ġ1. If your course is going to be down wind or a broad reach put the turtle on the lee side of the boat near the bow.ġ0. To completely avoid this problem roll the jib up before the spinnaker is hoisted and then drop the spinnaker before deploying the jib.ĩ. The process of rolling the jib up or unrolling it MAY allow the jib or the furler mechanism to pick up the spinnaker sleeve or the lines that work the sleeve and roll them up in the furler. NOTE: For cruising and non-racing boats equipped with jib roller furler systems. Never pack a wet sail in the bag – hang it up to dry or spread it out inside your boat RIGGING & HOISTING Coil each sail line and store in separate pockets if available or tuck the coiled line down the side of the bag next to the clew tie pointĨ. Tie the sail head (top of sleeve) to its tie point in the bagħ. Fake the sleeve in the turtle (DO NOT coil the sleeve in the bag as this may cause twists)Ħ. KEEP ALL LINES ON THE SAIL OR SLEEVE OUTSIDE OF THE TURTLE UNTIL THE VERY LAST STEPĥ. Put any loose sail that extends below the bottom of the sleeve in the bagĤ. Put the bottom of the sleeve (ring end) in the bagģ.
