Hoisting the Spinnaker

The manual's summary sequence: if it is a peak head spinnaker the backstay is put on; the halyard is attached to the head; the sail is hoisted; the clew is attached to the sheet; the tack is attached to the brace and the kicker; the pole is pushed into a loop on the tack and pushed out; the pole is put into the snotter on the mast; the brace is pulled back as the kicker is released until the pole is in the desired position; the sheet is pulled to break the wool and the sail is trimmed.
