After hauling the clew out to the end of the boom and then making it fast, we hoisted the main a few feet at a time so that Gianna could insert the battens in the batten pockets.  Gianna hauled the main, cleated, inserted the batten I handed her, and then repeated for the next batten. I provided the battens and the encouragement to the first mate.  That's what captains do. We then flaked the main onto the boom and tied her with a few nylon straps. Then we hanked on the storm jib to go sailing (it was a bit breezy) It was only after making the sails ready that I went to start the engine.  It would not start.  Gianna was understandably not happy.    I found the problem with the no start to be a loose wire on the magnetic switch on the starter the following morning.  The year's first sail happened the day after rigging the mainsail on the boom.    Smiles all around.  Finally!
