We took the sail off to replace the mast and can't remenber how to re-lash it! The manual is very light on details. Need to know how each line should be threaded through the grommets and tied to the mast and boom. I could make it up myself but the Mrs thinks I could use some advice :)

Drawings or photos would be a big help. Nothing fancy, just the basic rig is fine.

Appreciate the help!

The top image uses a spiral lashing while the lower one uses a multitude of individual ribands. I personally prefer the spiral. It's only a single piece of line to tie and keep track of. It's also possible to use a spiral on the boom.
