I'm no expert but I think you might want to jibe it, that takes everything out front around the furled headsail.

So we got it up and filled.  It's actually really easy.  I hooked the blocks for 

the sheets to the stern cleats.   Then I hooked the block for the tack line to 

the anchor pulpit.   With the ATN it's very easy to set and drop the sail.   I 

just need to figure out how to tack it.   The thing is huge.
