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.
