the headsail on my boat is on a roller

furling and that means that it's not

Hank thanh with individual Hanks and the

leading edge of my sail has a tubing

sewn into it and that tubing goes up a

solid track the challenge with raising a

sale like this on your own is that you

have to line the tubing up with the

entrance into the track and what I have

for that is a pre feeder I have a video

that I did about a year ago maybe or

maybe longer and it explains exactly how

this pre feeder works but this makes it

very easy and possible for me to hoist

the Genoa by myself

the next sale to put up is the main

before I can put the main up the first

thing I need to do is put in the battens

to insert the battens back into the

mainsail I don't need very many tools a

screwdriver and allen key and this

special stuffing stick with the sale

Elaine flat like this on the dock I know

the battens are going to run along the

length of this so I'll just have to

start going down the sail and finding

the pockets and I can see one right

there and I'll start inserting the

battens so you can see this is the

leading edge of the baton there's a

little pocket here that I need to open

up then the bat and will slide into this

pocket here to the end I'm not sure if

you can see that but the battens are all

labeled so number one top so the first

thing you do is take this screw out I've

already taken up most the way and they

slide the cover off and slide the baton

in I need to get the end of this patent

into this little sleep there so I'll

pull that up and it's a little snug

there goes to slide and slid in there

close it I'll put the sleek the cover

back on

put the screw back in there and now the

allen key can be inserted in the top

here and that little arm that I slid the

end of the baton into you can see I

don't know if you can see there's a

bunch of numbers here that just shows

what setting it's on but i can start

turning the allen key and it actually

will put more tension on the are more

pressure on the baton to stiffen it up

so you get more Bend Ind into it so i

can make that quite stiff so there's a

bit more Bend all the time or I can

loosen it off but I just get a little

bit snug I've just inserted the first

baton and it was the shortest and then

when you look at the rest you would

think that they would go from shortest

to longest but they don't actually that

long baton is the second one down from

the top and you can see the pocket right

there and it has the same front end

adjustment and plastic pocket that it

goes into these are the only two battens

that have this at the leading edge the

other two just are inserted from the

other edge of the sail the back edge of

it so it's the same thing with this one

just take the screw out

slide the cover off slide this in same

way as the top one lift that up insert

it snap it back down put the cover back

on the screw back in to hold the cover

on and that's sitting fairly loose in

there so I want to snug that up using

the allen key I'm not sure if you can

see it actually moving on the numbers

there so that's creating more tension on

it that seems pretty snug there let's

get on to the last two

so like I mentioned the first two are

inserted from the leading edge of the

sail the last two are inserted from the

opposite edge

this is where the little tool comes in

that I was mentioning earlier and you'll

notice this piece of material here is

fuzzy so that's the fuzzy side of the

velcro right in between this red layer

and this other outer layer is the hook

side of velcro on the in there so it's

not inside where the baton is an extra

layer here and I need to get this all

the way in there to hold the baton in at

the end here so how I do that is I grab

the string at the end of this I start

working it into there so I've got it

started you have to keep some tension on

this string and you just push it in and

pull it out there you go that's not

gonna come out now and when I want to

pull it out later I just give this piece

of string a tug and out will come the

little piece of material so one more

baton and then I'm ready to hoist this

last baton is the same as the one we

just did so again I just slide it in

so no it's in there all the way I'm

going to do the same thing with this

piece of material with the fuzzy side I

do the exact same thing I want to get it

started

is that layer between the outer layer

and that red fabric I just stick this

right on top of the strapping push it in

let up there you go so when I'm ready to

take that out later I just give that a

tug and it'll all come out and that's it

I'm ready to start getting the set up on

the boom and the mast it's pretty simple

to get the sails back up and the reason

I want them back up it's the new year

and maybe I'll go sailing soon that's

the plan I don't know when exactly but

I'm hoping to do something in the near

future and the way you saw me flake it

afterwards that's not a proper way to

flake it well but it's getting late it's

getting a bit cold out and I just wanted

to get it down and tie it off in a

couple spots tomorrow I'll go back out

and I'll flake it properly and I'll put

the cover on and get it all put away

better but that's it the sales are back

on the Christmas lights are down and I'm

going to go in and get warmed up
