Now
that you have completed the basic assembly of your sailboat, some adjustment of the
rigging may be necessary. Please refer to the instructions below.
(1) Silicone ring 1 on the main boom can be adjusted to tighten the main sail. Leave a little
slack in the sail so that it can catch the wind. Generally, in strong wind conditions the
sail needs more slack and in gentle conditions it can be tighter.
(2) Silicone ring 2 is used to adjust the line length to keep the main boom in center position.
If it is too tight, move it toward SR3. If too loose, move it toward SR1.
(3)

y SR3 will not need to be moved, it should stay in position over the cord holder.

18. Some adjustment of the Jib boom rigging may be necessary. Please refer to the instructions
below.
(1) Silicone ring 4 on the jib boom can be adjusted to tighten the jib sail. Leave a little
slack in the sail so that it can catch the wind. Generally, in strong wind conditions the
sail needs more slack and in gentle conditions it can be tighter.
(2) Silicone ring 5 is used to adjust the angle that the jib extends to when the sail winch is
all the way out. Make sure that the jib sail can travel a larger angle than the main sail.
Normall
y the jib sail travels about 90°-100° while the main sail travels 80°-90°. If the angle
is too small, move SR5 toward SR4. If the angle is too large, move SR5 toward SR6.
5mm - 8mm
30mm - 35mm
(3) If the jib rigging to the winch is too tight move SR6 toward SR5. If it's too loose, move SR6
toward SR7. The jib boom should be able to move about 30-35° when the main sail is fully
hauled in and the sail control stick on the transmitter is in its lowest position.
(4) To adjust the distance between the jib boom and the main mast, move SR7 as follows. If
there's too large a gap move toward the counterweight. If the gap is too small, move toward
SR6. There should be approximately a 5mm-8mm gap between the jib boom and the mast.
90° - 100°
80° - 90°
