It seems every spring I have to find this video and I always wished I had a simple written record of the steps, so here it is for myself and for others.

Melges Rigging Video

1. Attach head to halyard, luff (green or blue) toward bow, halyard on port side of headstay
2. Run the leech (red) to the clew
3. Attach sheets to clew
4. From the head, run the luff (green or blue) to the tack
5. Make sure the tack line is running over the top of the spinnaker sheets and to port of the headstay
6. Attach the tack line to the tack
7. Ensure the douser runs under/to port of all lines and under the roller (if installed)
8. Run from the head along the outside (if green/blue is to the bow and red to the stern, port side) of the kite to find the douser attachments
9. Make sure the douser goes under the foot and then up through the ring (if present, typically on an A-scow) and to the loop, then tie it off
10. Pull the ends of the spinnaker out on the deck, or up if there’s not much wind and then pull into the launcher hole with the douser
