Page 4: General Recommendations
*) jib respectively in performance version GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Before you begin to inflate the hulls, lay out your smartkat onto an area that is clean and free of sharp objects and debris. Inflate your smartkat using a general purpose air pump of the type you would use for inflating air beds, swimming toys or small inflatable boats. - Page 5 The hulls should never be fully pumped up until the smartkat is completely assembled. 4. You will find that the smartkat is much easier to assemble if you initially inflate the hulls to about 30% of their volume. This is particular recommended when assembling the smartkat for the first time (01).
- Page 6 d) FIRST ASSEMBLY Unfold the trampoline and push the front frame tube – the front frame tube is recognised by it having a holder for the centreboard in the middle – through the front tunnel on the trampoline (02). After this, push the right side tube in the same way through the right trampo-line tunnel (the left side of the trampoline is the one with the eyelets) –...
- Page 7 SECOND AND SUBSEQUENT ASSEMBLY If you have taken the smartkat apart properly, you haven’t unlaced the side frame tubes but have just loosened and perhaps unlaced the rear frame tube so that you must only slot the side frame tubes into the front frame tube and push on the rear frame tube.
- Page 8 f) Fix the centreboard into the centreboard holder provided on the trampoline frame (16). For lifting the centreboard, a reserve elastic rope and a reserve lifting rope are included (17). g) Fix the two shackles of the two side centreboard mountings into the metal plates provided on the two side frames.
- Page 9 h) So that you can manipulate it easier, lay the bowsprit with its rear end on the trampoline and the front end with the headsail roller on the ground (20). Position the two bowsprit side fixing ropes by attaching the karabiner (21) and secure this in the appropriate hole in the frame plates left and right (22).
- Page 10 j) Unfold the headsail and fix the headsail with the furling fock swivel at the front side of the mast top (right at the top of the mast) (28 - 29) OPTIONAL TRAPEZE KIT If you own a trapeze kit, now hang in the wire cables with the two hooks in the screw shackles of the mast shroud (31).
- Page 11 (35 - 37). Both shroud tensioners have been adjusted and fixed in the factory. On very rigorous use of the smartkat it can become necessary to readjust these shroud tensioners. However, only carry out this work when the smartkat has been completely assembled.
- Page 12 By drawing the luff taut, the bowsprit and the mast should be completely and properly tensioned. The smartkat is now completely tensioned and has reached its final stability (30 und 41). n) Now take the two headsail ropes through the eyelet guides and to the clamps left and right on the side frame members.
- Page 13 p) Mount the boom fork on the mast by full mainsail and fix the boom kicker with the karabiner in the eyelet guide provided on the boom (45 - 47) Pull the boom kicker to have the mast bended. This pre bending of the mast brings a higher performance and stability of the mast.
- Page 14 Now fix karabiner of the mainsail line block into the hole provided on the rudder mounting (51 - 52). t) Place, carry or push the smartkat into the water, at a suitable depth of water push the rudder into a vertical position until the rudder blade...
