1. Lay the sail on a fl at surface port side up.
2. Th
e numbers on the starboard side are always higher
than the port side.
3. Measure 25 mm above the “P” of the Pico screen
print and draw the base line perpendicular to the
leach and blue sail panel.
4. Measure 70 mm from the leach and draw a line
parallel to the leach and perpendicular to the base line
previously drawn.
5. Position the port sail numbers starting with the last
digit squared to the base and leach lines.
6. Th
e remaining numbers should be square to the
previous number and 60 mm apart.
Turn the sail over and mark a line on the starboard
side of the sail 100 mm above the port numbers.
Starting with the fi rst digit work from the leach
line position the sail numbers 60 mm apart as above.

10. Measure 70mm from the leach and draw a line
parallel to the leach and perpendicular to the line
previously drawn.
11. Position the starboard sail numbers starting with

14. Attaching the jib
1. Attach the hook for the jib to the tack of the
jib with the rigging link and clip onto the eye
bolt on the bow.
(fi gure 43)
2. Tie the jib halyard to the top of the jib
with a bow line.
(fi gure 44)
3. Hoist the jib and cleat the halyard
securely in the cleat. Th
en stow the free
end of the halyard in the pocket on the tack
of the mainsail.

4. Tie the jib sheet onto the jib clew by taking
the jib sheet in the center and passing the loop
through the clew cringle. Pass the two free
ends through the loop and pull tight. Ensure
that the two rope ends are the same length.
(fi gure 46)
5. Th
read the ends of the jib sheets through the
fairleads and tie a fi gure 8 knot in each end.
(fi gure 47)
After sailing, the mainsail can be temporarily
stowed by wrapping the sail around the mast.
If your Pico is not being used the sail should be
stowed dry and clean in its sail bag.
