Rig a Flying Scot
Step 4 - the Boom

To install the boom, first put the boom crutch in the center mounting (the side mountings are generally used only when the boat has to be steered). Set the boom in the boom crutch, slide the gooseneck down over the short track on the mast until the locking pin snaps into the hole on the bottom of the track.

Note - Because the boom is made to roller reef, you can rotate the slide in the gooseneck by pulling out on the slide. This may be necessary if you find the locking pin on the slide to be on the top side of the boom instead of the lower side.
