How to Rig a Storm Jib using the Sleeve System

This system comes in two parts - a long sleeve that wraps around in front of the furled headsail, and the storm jib itself with prefitted piston snap hank along the luff. The sleeve is attached to itself on either side via the snap hanks. From the tack up to the head, then halyard can be attached an hoist can take place.
