Mainsail

Rigging the main: First detach halyard from the end of the boom. No Ka Oi is rigged to hold up the boom with a spring-loaded boom vang. Attach the halyard shackle to the head of the main sail making sure the halyard is free and clear to the top.

Next, ease boom vang, untie sail ties, and uncoil mainsheet for preparation of hoisting. Make sure reefing lines are eased as well unless you pre-reefed at the dock.

On a windy day, pre-rig the reefing line through reefing cringle to simplify the reefing process on the water. If wind speed is over 18 knots, make sure to reef before you leave the dock.
