the boat skin and secure cross rib (B1) as

frame to the back against cross rib (B1).
Front seat-straps: Around cross rib (A)
and back to snap.
Back seat-straps: Run longest end under
cross rib (B1) and keel, and buckle to
short end.
The seat is equipped with additional
straps on each side for back adjustment.
➜ The straight rod with a clip at each end, is
the stern deck support. One clip will attach to
the top of cross rib (B1). The other end of the
rod should be attached to the stem.
➜ The straight rod with a latch clip close to
one end, is the forward deck support. The
latch clip will attach to a corresponding clip at
the top of cross rib (B2). The clip at the other
end of the rod should be attached to the
stem near the top.
➜ Make sure the keel is straight during the
iinflation. If it bowes to one side, add more
pressure to the air tubes on that side. The
hull is straight when the keel is between the
two white lines.
