Attaching Sailing Rig - Aquaglide Multisport 270 Owner's Manual

D. Attaching the Rig

1. Next, you are ready to attach the sailing rig. If the setup area is
exposed to the wind, align the hull so that the front points directly into
the wind. This will help prevent the wind from catching the sailing rig and
tipping it over during setup. Lift the sailing rig into position with the mast
over the mast step and toward the front of the hull.
2. While holding the rig upright and angled back slightly, connect the
mast clip to the stainless padeye on the front of the mast. You may need
to stand on the inflated hull to reach the padeye.

3. Once the mast clip is connected to the padeye, pull the rig toward the
front of the hull while tightening the webbing strap at the bottom of the
forestay. Bring the mast to an upright position. Check the mast align-
ment front to back, as well as side to side. Adjust the bridle straps and
forestay as needed to bring the mast 90 degrees to the horizon, bringing
all three lines of the sailing harness into a snug, even tension.
