Hull assembly

Position the hulls in parallel with the inner sides fa-

cing 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.

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 assem-

bled at the delivery***

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

recheck these at regular intervals.

Trampoline

Unfold the trampoline. Note

that the side tension lines are

prethreaded. Insert the front

sealed bolt rope edge into the tram-

poline track of the front corssbar.

Continue feeding the trampoline into

the trampoline track and position it in

the centre. Line up the grommet in

the centre of the front edge of the

trampoline with the dolphin striker

Pull the trampoline to the

back of the boat and insert

the fibreflass rod into the rear

flap of the trampoline. Leave an

equal amount protruding from each

side.

Commence lacing the rear of the trampoline. The lacing line ties off on the

lacing post at the left rear of the rear beam. Pass the line around the rod

and back around the first lacing post. Lead the line around the second la-

cing post and pass it around the rod on the first trampoline cut out. Now, come

back around the second lacing post and continue towards the third. Continue all

the way across the beam in the same fashion and tie off loo-

sely. Do not attempt to tighten the rear lacing too much at this

stage.

Beginning

Tensioning

the sides :

starting at

the right rear cor-

ner, take the line

that emerges from

the trampoline.

Lead it through the

eye strap on the

rear beam and

then through the grommet/eyelet. Tie it off with a

bowline knot or similar.

4Move to the

front right cor-

ner of the

trampoline. Pull on

the line as firmly as

possible and tie a

bowline knot or loop

in the line as close

to the trampoline

edge as possible.

This will enable a 2:1 purchase to be used for tensio-

ning. Tie off once tensioned to secure.

Now lead the end of the line through the eyestrap on the rear

of the front beam and back through the loop. Lead the end

back through the eyestrap and apply as much tension as pos-

sible. Maintaining the tension, lead the line through the grommet

and back to the eyestrap. Next, lead the line through the grommet in

the front edge of the trampoline and tie off securely. Repeat proce-

dure for port side.

Trampoline

Retighten rear lacing from left to right. Tie the rear lacing off securely at

the eyelet posts on the right hand end of the rear beam. NB :

It is impor-

tant that the trampoline lacing is kept very tight.

NB : Check the trampoline tension on a regular basis.

Remember : all ropes streches!

Identify the right rudder from the left rudder (green

sticker = right ; red sticker = left)

Take the left rudder, and align the upper rudder cas-

ting onto the rear gudgeon.

Rudder assembly

Insert the rudder pin, and 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.

Tiller crossbar & extension

Take the tiller crossbar and insert the right side into

the right rudder arm and the left side into the left rud-

der arm.

Take the yoke connection of the tiller extension and fix

it into the middle of the tiller crossbar

Then fix the tiller head into the yoke connection as

shown on the photo.

Mast Set-up

Place the mast onto two supports (eg: two

pieces of polystyrene).

Unroll the trapeze wires and fix them using a

shackle to the upper hole on the mast tang (two

on each side).

Unroll the shrouds and the forestay wire (with

the jib halyard block) and fix them to the lower

hole of the mast tang using a shackle. The

shrouds go onto each side of the forestay.

Trapeze wires

Shrouds

Forestay

IMPORTANT : Do not forget to attach the jib ha-

lyard 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.

Spreader Bars

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 dia-

mond 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 spreader tips to fur-

ther ensure there are no sharp edges.

Unroll the diamond wires. At-

tach the joint end of the dia-

mond wires onto the turnbuckle

adjuster near the base of the

mast (level with the security sti-

cker) using the pin and split

ring.

Take the loose ends of the dia-

mond wires and hold tight to ad-

just to the same length, using

the turnbuckle adjuster 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 situa-

ted on each side of the mast

under the mast tang.

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 spreader rake ad-

juster 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.

Caution : do not try to adjust sprea-

der rake while diamond wires are

tensioned. Only adjust under no dia-

mond wire tension and screwing the

barrel by hand.
