Attaching the ginpole to the mast

After unbolting the mini stays, mount the gin pole and run the bolt through the starboard mini stay, through the gin pole and mast, then through the port mini stay. A wingnut allows you to do it without tools.

A closeup of the attachment point. Note that this picture was taken at a later time; the furler and shrouds are still velcro wrapped to the mast.
