Before rigging a new sail, It’s a good idea to coat the mast top section all the way to the area above the boom area with a rag impregnated with a non staining dry lubricant. This lubricant will eventually coat the inside of the luff sock, making it very easy to rig your sails.
Check General Tips before rigging your sail for the first time. It contains important information in making it easy to rig and tune a sail.
 Image 1 : Choose a grassy area if possible, and unroll the sail so the head is downwind of you.
 Images 2, 3 : Insert the mast into the luff sock and guide it in front of the camber, so the mast fits between the leading edge of the sail and the camber.

Image 8 : Fit the mast in front of the next camber again, then pull the sail down by cupping the fingers on the underside of the luff sock so the fingers edge against the camber.
Image 9, 10 : Next , slide more of the sail down the mast, and then pull the foot of the sail down the mast. Use the handle sewn on the foot of the sail for this.
