Rigging the GAastra FLOW-3 outhaul with easy-rig boom

This seemed to be enuff of a PIMA/Pain In My Yass ...
that I noted it in my journal and now ...
I feel it deserves its own post lol /s 

That's the GA Flow-3 in colder temps lol

NORMALLY, the cord goes IN through the top RIGHT and then through the cinch "hole". Take the loop that is ON the sail, through the sail grommet to the other side and onto the easy-rig "post"...

NOW ... the cord goes IN through the BOTTOM RIGHT around bottom outhaul "hook" to the bottom of the easy-rig "post" and THEN !!! cross over the back through the top right "hole" & around top outhaul hook to the cinch hole.

 

OUTHAUL & does that seem complicated enough for ya ?

 

NICE n NEAT tho !! 

Removing the MAST ...
******************
SLOWLY loosen from the bottom; sliding the sail UP the mast gently (making sure camber stays ON) until the sail is all bunched up - like when it was rigged ...
Then ... twist and remove the mast ... slowly ...

You see how crazy this can be ?
