The Sail
The Optipratic sail has a sleeve for the mast.
Slide the mast into the sail, and then slide
the boom into the strap of the sheet.
The foot of the sail is adjusted by a rope that
attaches to the fairlead to the end of the
boom.
The fairlead goes through the sail eyelet
back into the fairlead to finish in the cleat on
the boom.
The Sprit
Place the rope as in the photo.
The sprit is captive but removable.
Starting from the sprit rope on the mast into
the fairlead (bowline or figure-eight knot),
then through the sprit fairlead, back into the
fairlead to finish in the aluminium cleat
located just below the fairlead.
Don’t forget to hold in place with a figure-
eight knot.
