ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

THE HULLS

Lay the hulls on the ground, on their sides with bottoms to the
center (graphics down), as shown above. A tarpoline or pads
under the hull may be desirable if the ground surface is rough.
Place the hulls about seven feet apart.
Note: There is one plug in the rear of each hull. These plugs
are used to drain the hulls. The plugs should be in place
before sailing. Remove the plugs after sailing to drain any
water that may have leaked into the hulls. It is best to travel
with and store the boat with the plugs removed to allow for
pressure changes due to heating, cooling and altitude
changes. This will prevent warping of the hull surface.
