has a fitting attach same to the top/head of the sail and then seed the sail luff rope or sail slugs into the groove in the back of the mast.
Have Crew/Assistant feed the Luff Rope on the sail from as low a point in the cockpit, or desk as possible so it will feed smoothly whilst you haul the sail up with the Halyard.
