Tie one end of your halyard to the loop on top of the S hook(this is the up side line) and take the other end and pass it through the small hole in the S hook and tie a large bowline. The halyard runs up through the ring to the thimble and back through the ring and back down. I also like to pass the line though the triangle right above the spin pole to keep everything neat. The line is one line tied in a
loop using the S hook. To put the jib up hook the S hook to the top of the jib with the top of the S hook facing the back of the boat and put both lines in the zipper luff. Pull the halyard up and zip the luff at the same time ( tying a short piece of line to the zipper makes it easier) keep raising the jib until the S hook just goes through the ring and then pull down on the jib and it should hook. To take it down pull the halyard up just a little (the same side line you used to pull the jib up) until the S hook is above the ring and then pull a little on the other side of the halyard to pivot the S hook off the ring and pull the jib down. Some times you have to pull the jib around to the front of the boat. Don't use the cheap line that comes with the boat as it will break ( don't ask me how I know).
