 13. Guide the long antenna wire through

the mounts on the stern railing. Slide the
flag mast over the antenna.

 14. The flag mast is then inserted through

the mounts and into the hull. Gently
guide the antenna through and out the
top of the flag mast.

 1. Remove the cover from the hull. The

cover is held in position using magnets.

 2. Remove the nylon bolt that secures the

hatch cover to the hull.

 3. Set the hatch cover aside. The cover

cannot be fully removed as the line to the
sail passes through the hatch cover.

Note: The railing is fragile. Take
care when removing the hatch and
transporting the sailboat.

 4. Pour the supplied ballast weight into

the hull and into the keel of the boat. Use
30-minute epoxy to secure the weights
in the keel. Use enough epoxy to cover
the weights so they don't dislodge while
operating the boat.
Hint: You can also use household paint
to secure the weights in the keel. Pour
enough paint into the keel to cover the
weights and allow it to dry overnight.
