Sail-battens
All sail-battens are checked for their exact profile on the batten-plan
and, if needed, corrected. Also end-pieces and springs are checked for
functionality.

Crossbeam tensioning- and safety-line/cable
The crossbeam tensioning line is checked for damage and measured for
length. The thimbles, eyes and Nico-press fittings, the VG- line and VG-
pulleys/bushing are to be free of damage. Defective parts are to be
replaced.

Pilot hook-in assembly
The pilot hook-in assembly is examined for wear; the stitching is
inspected and correct mounting assured. The safety loop should not
impede the free movement of the assembly.
10. Sail installation
After repairs on sail and frame the sail is reinstalled. During this
operation attention is to be paid, that the wing tubes are placed
between leading edge and profile ribs and the keel in the provided keel
pockets. The king post is mounted on the keel-tube.
The sail attachment bands [webbing loops] are inserted in the plastic
end caps at the outside wing tube and secured with Velcro strips. The
lower side wires are threaded through the provided openings in the sail
and possibly together with the upper side wires bolted to the wing- or
cross-tube.
Control frame and speed-bar are with the connecting parts bolted to the
main frame, lower rear cables to the keel, as well as all remaining lower
rigging to the right and left, respectively, to shackles and corner
brackets of the control frame.
Except for lock nuts, all nuts are to be secured with Loctite or
similar.
