INSERT MAINSAIL BATTENS. Remove the battens from
the bag. The red battens are for the left side and the green
for the right. Insert the battens from the centre to the tip with
gentle pressure, until the batten meets resistance. Shake
the sail at the trailing edge whilst maintaining gentle
pressure on the batten to allow the batten to be inserted
over the cross bar.
DO NOT FORCE THE BATTENS!

It is advised not to insert the last cambered tip batten and
tip strut until the cross bars are tensioned.

Unclip ‘pivot beak’ from ‘threaded end’.
Rotate
pivot beak

shown. While supporting the underside
of the batten, clip the
pivot beak
into the
threaded end
.
To adjust batten load tension, release
pivot beak
from sail and rotate batten
clip.
•
TENSION CROSS BARS. The cross bars are now tensioned
by pulling the webbing loop until the shackle is positioned on
the quick clip. Ensure that the catch is positively locked.

lying flat
the keel should
be raised up to approximately 200 mm to allow the side
flying wires to be loose.
