Tools needed:

Nacra front beams are delivered with pre bend right from the
factory. However, this should be checked.

There should always be a pre-bend on the front
crossbar. This is been achieved by the tension on the
dolphinstriker.
•
On new beams the tension on the dolphinstriker must
be reset after:
- 2 hours of sailing and
- 10 hours of sailing
•
check the tension without rig tension.

During the season check the pre-bend regularly.
Check pre-bend always without rig tension on.
