Mast and Sail Assembly

1. Slide the mast sections together on the wood

block and secure the mast using the included

screws.

2. Install the main boom and turnbuckle on

the mast using 2 screws and 2 washers as

shown.

3. Remove the mast crane from the top of the

mast and slide the bottom of the main sail

cord through the channel in the assembled

mast. Replace the mast crane.

4. Secure the outermost corner of the main sail

to the end of the boom using the nearby wire

loop. Insert the line at the top corner of the

main sail through the hole in the mast crane

and secure the end of the line around the

cleat on the mast. Tie the line at the bottom

corner of the main sail through the hole in the

boom mount on the mast and around a nearby

cleat on the mast. Adjust main sail tension by

adjusting the position of the loop on the main

boom and the line tension on the mast cleats.

TIp: Apply a small amount of thin CA

(cyanoacrylate adhesive) to the end of a line

before inserting it into the fittings.

5. Install the bottom of the mast in the hole in

the hull.

6. Connect the front (A), rear (C), right (B)

and left (B) mast line turnbuckles to the

respectively marked fittings on the hull. Leave

the mast lines loose until you are ready to sail.

Loosen a turnbuckle nut from against the barrel,

turn the barrel on the screws as needed, then

tighten the nut to prevent turning. Wrenches or

pliers may be required.

IMpORTANT: Adjust the turnbuckles on

the mast lines so the mast is centered and

perpendicular to the hull. Adjust mast line

tension for wind and water conditions.

NOTICE: Do not overtighten the mast lines or

damage to the hull or mast may result.
