Remounting the rear leading edges
1. Install the transverse battens in the batten pockets.
The proper orientation for the transverse
batten is with the flat carbon side (bottom side) of the batten facing the bottom surface of the
sail.
The top side of the batten should lay flat in the pocket against the top surface of the sail.
Secure the velcro closure.
2. Make sure you are mounting the correct leading edge rear into the correct front (check the right /
left designation).
3. Slide the rear leading edge (through the sail past the edge of the front leading edge) far enough to
feed the sprog out through the curved bottom surface access zipper between the sail ribs on battens
no. 3 and no. 4. Engage the rear leading edge into the front. If the rear leading edge is properly
installed, the black plastic crescent adapter that is attached to the rear leading edge will be com-
pletely inside the front leading edge. (Note: On early serial production gliders the black crescent
may protrude 1/8" from the front leading edge when the rear leading edge is fully engaged.)
4. Remount the sail to the rear leading edge, making sure to align the
sail mount webbing squarely in
the slot and attach the securing velcros.
The sail is mounted to the leading edge by the inner (forward) of the two loops of web-
bing. The outer loop is a pull handle only.
You may find it helpful to use a large, flat bladed screw driver to pry the sail mount webbing over
the end of the leading edge tube and into the slot. Take care not to damage the webbing.
5. Attach the sprog bungee to the sprog paddle. One end of the bungee is secured to a tab sew to the
sail body. Insert the free end of the bungee though the hole in the corresponding side of the paddle,
tie an overhand knot and push it back into the channel in the bottom of the paddle.
