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.
