1. Position the hulls in parallel with the inner

sides facing the ground.

Lift the right hull. One person straddles the hull

to hold it in place. The other person applies the

silicone sealant (for waterprooﬁng) around the

screw holes.

2. Take the front crossbar (with dolphin striker).

Place it in its support so that the trampoline

track faces the rear of the boat. Insert the two

bolts. Pass your hand through the inspection

port to position the nuts and washers onto the

screws photo). Fasten loosely.

Lift the left hull, and follow the same steps as for

the right hull. Do not fully tighten the screws.

***Respect same order for the washers as as-

sembled at the delivery***

3. Apply silicone sealant around the screw holes

at the back of the hulls. Place the rear crossbar

on the right side. Insert the bolts, washers and

nuts as shown for the front crossbar. Do the

same thing for the left side.

Once the frame has been mounted, tighten all the

bolts fully and then install the lock nuts.

It is advisable to check the fastening of the bolts

after the ﬁrst trip out onto the water, and re-

check these at regular intervals.

Hull assembly

Trampoline assembly

1. Unfold the trampoline. Note that the trampoline has side tension lines that are already pre-threa-

ded. Insert the front edge of the trampoline into the track at the left, rear side of the front crossbar.

Continue feeding the trampoline into the track and position it in the center. line up the grommet in the

center of the trampoline with the dolphin striker post to ensure it is centered.

2. Take one of the side tensioning lines and pass the line

through the pad-eye that is ﬁxed to the front crossbar then

through the grommet of the trampoline near where the

rope exits the trampoline and back to the pad-eye. Then

ﬁx it through the grommet that is near the crossbar using

a bowline knot.

Repeat this step at the opposite side front corner.

3. Move to the rear of the trampoline. Very closely to

where the side tensioning line exits the rear of the tram-

poline tie a loop. ensure you pull the side tensioning line

ﬁrmly as to tie the loop as closely to the trampoline where

the rope exits as possible. Tie a bowline or a similar loop

in the line which will be used for a 4:1 purchase of the

side tensioning lines. Repeat this step for the opposite

side rear corner.

4. Now take the tale of the side tensioning line and pass the rope through the pad-eye mounted on the

rear cross beam closest to where the line exits the trampoline. Then pass the line back through the

loop tied in step3. Again go through the pad-eye on the beam and back through the loop. This will pro-

vide a 4:1 purchase. Pull the line slightly as to take some tension for the sides but do not completely

tension at this stage. Repeat this step for the opposite side rear corner. Ensure that the trampoline is

still centered.

Trampoline assembly

5. Find the trampoline rod and insert it into the rear of the

trampoline.

6. Commence lacing the rear of the trampoline. The lacing line starts at the left, rear lacing button on

the rear crossbar. Lace the rear of the trampoline as tightly as possible as per the photographs and

diagrams supplied. Continue across the rear crossbar and tie off securely when ﬁnished.

7. Again, take the side tensioning line and very

ﬁrmly pull the line in order to tighten the trampo-

line. Repeat this for the opposite side rear corner.

8. Once the sides of the trampoline have been

further tightened, tie off the line and hide the tail

under the trampoline. Repeat this step for the

opposite side rear corner.

NB : It is important that the trampoline be

strongly tightened.

Check the tension on a regular basis.

Rudder assembly

Identify the right rudder from the left rudder

(green sticker = right ; red sticker = left)

Take the left rudder, and align the lower rudder

casting onto the rear gudgeon.

2. Insert the rudder pin.

Do not forget to put in the two split rings: one on top and one at the bottom of the rudder pin.

Repeat the procedure for the right rudder assembly.

Take the tiller crossbar and insert the right side into the

right rudder arm and the left side into the left rudder arm.

2. Take the yoke connection of the tiller extension

and ﬁx it into the middle of the tiller crossbar

3. Then ﬁx the tiller head into the yoke connection

as shown on the photo.

Tiller crossbar & extension

Place the mast onto two supports (eg: two

pieces of polystyrene).

Unroll the trapeze wires and ﬁx them using

a 6 mm shackle to the upper hole on the

mast tang (two on each side).

Unroll the shrouds and the forestay wire +

pigtail + jib halyard rope and ﬁx them to the

lower hole of the mast tang using a shac-

kle 8 mm. The shrouds go onto each side

of the forestay.

3. IMPORTANT : Do not forget to attach the jib halyard rope to the small single block at the end of the

jib halyard wire. Tie off the jib halyard wire and rope near the base of the mast.

Preparation of the mast

1. Unroll the diamond wi-

res. Attach the joint end of

the diamond wires onto the

turnbuckle adjuster near the

base of the mast (level with

the security sticker) using the

pin and split ring.

Take the loose ends of the

diamond wires and hold tight

to adjust to the same length,

using the turnbuckle adjus-

ter which is located on the

lower section of one of the

wires. Once they are the same

length, attach the two wires

to the shield plaes situated on

each side of the mast under

the mast tang.

2. Assemble the spreaders on the

centre of the mast. The spreader

root attaches to the front of the

mast section onto the one-piece

stainless steel strap. The sprea-

der rake adjuster barrel attaches

on each side to the individual

ﬁttings on both sides of the mast

nearer the sail track. To adjust

the spreader rake, adjust the

length of the barrel (by winding

in or out) and measure from the

wire positions at the tips of each

spreader.

3. Slide the diamond Wires into the corresponding

slots at the end of the spreaders. Ensure the black

plastic roller is above the spreader arm. It may be

necessary to release tension from the diamond wire

turnbuckle adjuster near the base of the mast. Secure

the diamond wire with the thin wire supplied. Pass

the wire through the small hole near the spreader tip,

bend the wire and on one side of the spreader turn the

wire around the thicker diamond wires two or three

times. Do the same for the other side of the spreader.

Cut off the excess thin wire ensuring it is bent neatly

onto the diamond wires as to prevent the wire from

tearing the sails. Once secured, tape over the sprea-

der tips to further ensure there are no sharp edges.

Caution : do not try to adjust

spreader rake while diamond

wires are tensioned. Only adjust

under no diamond wire tension

and screwing the barrel by hand.
