Comments: In getting underway, hoist the mainsail before the jib, and take up on the peak halyard until diagonal wrinkles appear, running from peak to tack. The jib halyard should be just tight enough to cause the forestay to go a bit slack. In lowering the sails, drop the jib before the mainsail; it’s an indication of good seamanship and helps prevent the boat’s bow from blowing off downwind after you’ve picked up the mooring.
