Attaching and raising the jib (rigging jib)

1. (while standing in the cockpit) Bring jib to the foredeck, still rolled, with jib sheets wrapped around sail.
2. Put rolled jib onto the center of the foredeck (sheets aft, shackle forward).
3. Unwrap the jibsheets from around the sail (leave them loose)
4. Climb onto the foredeck.
5. Kneel (3-point keel) on the foredeck (facing the bow, with jib tightly beside you,).
6. Attach the tack shackle to the tang plate on the deck at the forestay.
7. Start to attach the clips to the forestay.  Start with the lowest clip, then unroll to the next.
8. Gradually unroll the jib and attach clips, until all clips are attached.
9. Reeve the jib sheets (through moveable fairlead block, and nearby turning block).
10. Tie figure-8 stopper knot at the bitter end of the port and starboard sheets.
11. Lay each sheet loosely in the jib sheet cam cleat.
12. Tension one sheet, so sail lies tight to the deck on one side, the other side being completely loose.
13. Slack the jib halyard (check for figure-8 knot, then uncleat and leave loose).
14. Climb onto the foredeck and reach the jib halyard from the spinnaker ring.
15. Attach the jib halyard to the jib-head eye.
16. Lightly re-tension the halyard and cleat it (enough to keep halyard from fouling).

Notes: all the clips go in the same direction. Attach the jib halyard to the top of the sail. Jib sheets go aft on either side of the mast, inside the shrouds,  through the blocks on the movable cars, the turning blocks and to the jib cleats. Figure eight on each jib sheet.

Main sail goes up first, then the jib. That keeps the boat headed into the wind as you stand away from the mooring. Some sailors leave jib rigged, attached, but not hoisted when on the mooring, or returning to the mooring, and sail with only mainsail.  

When un-rigging, the jib comes down first then the main.
