How do I put up the mainsail on a Soling sailboat?

Answer 1

Use the sail pullr uppr rope /line called a/the Halyard. It is traditionally on the starboard/right side of the mast. If it a

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.

Haul fairly tight and then clet the halyard to the Mast or deck and coil/hang the remainder of the Halyard in the cockpit.attach the bottom of the sail Tack to the boom at the mast and the Clew at the outer end of the Boom.
