    Attaching the sail to the boom:

    Spread out the sail, making sure there are no sharp objects nearby that could damage it. Open the booms and lay them along the two edges of the sail that have grommets. The Sunfish logo should fate the upper boom, which is the one with no blocks attached. Locate the S hook from the line bag and hook it into the tack grommet (the larger hole in the corner of the sail closest to the class association patch). Hook the other end into one of the eyebolts holding the booms together and crimp the S-hook closed with pliers.

    Lace one of the outhaul lines through the grommet in the sail close to the outboard end of the top boom, and then feed each end through the hole in the boom end cap. Tie a figure eight in each end. Repeat this step for the lower boom with the other outhaul line. The outhauls should be fairly tight. Attach the sail to the booms with the sail rings, just as you would hang a shower curtain.
