Page 4: Assembling Your Nirvana
Nirvana Assembling Your The Keel Slide the keel through the slot on the bottom of the hull. Make sure the rounded side is facing the bow (front) of the boat. Once fully inserted, turn the locking lever 90 degrees to secure the keel into place. - Page 5 The Mast and Boom Next, locate the mast and boom section. Insert the mast into the sleeve of the main sail. Before you completely insert the mast, slide the boom through loop 1 and then slide O-ring 2 onto the boom. Then connect the bottom half of the mast to the top half of the mast which is already inside the sleeve of the sail (Fit E to E).
- Page 6 Attaching the Mast Gently slide the mast butt into the hole in the deck (Fit G to G). Using the bowsies (small plastic slide tensioners connected to the lines), gently tighten the side shrouds and the backstay lines. Hook the backstay to the backstay bracket at the stern of the boat (Fit D to D).

Page 7: Adjusting The Sails
It is very important to make sure your sheet line hooks are in the correct posi- tions. To check this, fi rst install the batteries in the transmitter and switch it on and then install the batteries in your Nirvana and switch it on (see page 8 instructions). -
Page 8: Installing Batteries
ALWAYS SWITCH ON THE TRANSMITTER FIRST… THEN SWITCH ON THE BOAT. Failure to do so may result in damage to the Nirvana’s servos. Always turn on the transmitter and then it’s safe to switch on the boat. Now it’s time to go sailing! -
Page 9: Sailing Basics
Sailing Basics Wind is the only source of propulsion for your Nirvana. The sails use the wind to propel your boat through the water. Your sail pivots off the mast allowing it to catch the wind at a variety of different angles, making it possible to sail in many directions, including against the wind. - Page 10 When sailing upwind or downwind, your boat’s performance will depend upon the angle of your sail, also known as your sail trim. To pull the sails in, move the sail stick down. To ease the sails out, move the sail stick up.
- Page 11 Jibing is the turning maneuver when travelling downwind. When you Jibe, you take the stern of the boat through the eye of the wind. As your boat turns and the stern comes through the eye of the wind, the sails will come across to the opposite side of the boat. Jibing should be executed carefully! If there is much wind as the boat is turned, the boom can pass over the boat with incredible force and your rig could be damaged in an uncontrolled situation.

Page 12: Racing Your Nirvana
15 inches deep, and has an easy area to launch your boat. We suggest that you begin sailing your Nirvana in a quiet lake or pond as you become acquainted with the controls. We do not recommend running your boat in salt water, as this will cause corrosion and premature failure. - Page 13 The buoy room rule applies when boats are rounding or passing a buoy or an obstruction on a race course. You should imagine a circle around a buoy – the radius of the circle is four boat lengths (See Figure A). When your boat’s bow enters this circle (See Figure B), you have the right of way (See Figure C), unless the bow of another boat from behind you overlaps the stern of your boat on the inside of the turn.
- Page 14 Contact with Buoys Rule A boat that makes contact with a buoy must sail away from the fl eet, out of the way of other boats, and do a 360-degree penalty turn (See Figure E). After the penalty turn, the boat may resume racing.
- Page 15 Luffi ng Rights Rule This rule applies when you are passing another boat at close proximity. The fi gure below indicates the windward and leeward sides of the boat. On the starboard tack, the starboard side of the boat is the windward side. On port tack, the port side of the boat is the windward side.
- Page 16 The leeward boat is not permitted to sail past head to wind to “luff up” the other boat. When your boats bow is facing directly into the wind, it is called “head to wind.” If you steer your boat into the wind, past the point when it is head to wind, you have sailed “past head to wind.”...

Page 17: The Race Course
The Race Course only limit is your imagination. The most common course is the Modifi ed Olympic course. Jockey for the best position during a one-minute countdown. Sail two laps around the course, not rounding the wing buoy on the second lap. -
