The cunningham, outhaul and boom vang are all led to both sides of the deck on the Byte. This makes these sail controls easy to adjust.

Here is the Byte with the mast up, but the sail not up.

Different than the Laser, the Byte has a main halyard for raising the sail. The mast can be stepped before putting the main on. The main has a sleave which has zipper for wrapping around the mast.
