I just bought a Wave and a jib sail kit but I do not know how to assemble it.
Does anyone has any photos of one installed, or can you send me an sketch of how to do it

I finally installed the jib sail on my Wave but I found 2 problems:

1. The rope for rigging it gets tied up bellow the mast where the holding pin is located. What do you suggest?

2. I do not know how high should I lock in the sail, the boat is a bit unastable and tends to lift up in the front. Should I lower the sail some? What about the front connected to the rod, should I shorten it?

Appreciate any help
Jorge
