12.2. Remove the undersurface battens. Unzip the sprog access zippers all the way to the leading edge end of the
zippers and put out the inboard and outboard sprogs. Remove the tip folded battens and the four shortest battens
from the outboard section of the sail. Roll the outboard section of the sail and put the outboard wing tip bags on
(

12.3. Open the keel tube cover zipper, de-tension the crossbar sweep wire and let the wings fold in slightly.
12.4. Unzip the bottom surface central zipper and take flaps of the control frame apex protecting pad out of the sail.
Fasten Velcro straps of the pad around down tubes so when the glider is folded they protect the sail from contact with
the control frame apex fittings
(Fig. 29).
CAUTION
Control frame apex if not protected with control frame apex protection pad, may damage the sail or LE tubes.
12.5. Remove the remaining battens except for the battens #1. On battens #1 open batten tip levers, so they do not
stretch hems on the trailing edge. Put battens into the batten bag.
12.6. Close the keel tube cover zipper.
12.7. Fold the wings all the way in to the keel pulling the sail over the top of the leading edges. At each wingtip,
remove the tip cover bag. At this time you should be able to dismount the front ends of the root battens from the keel
tube. Install the protective pad and sock over the rear wire junction pin and the rear end of the keel.
CAUTION
Take care that the shackle of the crossbar sweep wire doesn’t get caught when entering into the
sail!
12.8. Fold the sprogs against the leading edge towards the tip. Make sure the sprog zippers are fully open.
12.9. Detach the front wires at the nose plate.

12.10. Pull the sail out away from the keel until it is
even on top and bottom. Roll the sail gently and
carefully, parallel to the trailing edge of the front and
then outboard portion of the sail.
NOTE
Try to roll the sail in such a way that the
leading edge portion remains as smooth as
possible. Do not attempt to stuff the sail
between the Mylar pocket and the leading
edge tube at any point where you feel
resistance, and do not attach the velcro ties
so tight so as to induce creases in the Mylar
or leading edge sail material (Fig. 30).
12.11. Working from the trailing edge, roll the sail tightly to the leading edge, and install the tip cover bags.
