2.3. Arrival of goods

A typical shipment directly from AHPC would involve in average about 3 cardboard boxes and 1
long package in which the entire catamaran can be transported:

♦

2 Long card board boxes containing a hull each.

♦

1 Shorter cardboard box for the beams, sail, boom, foils and rudder stocks.

♦

1 Single long package for the mast, depending on the way of shipment this might also be a
steel crate.

Should your boat have come through a local dealer, most of the assembly work has probably
already been done for you, but still take this manual as a reference for building up and dismantling
your Capricorn F18 when transporting and storing.

2.4. Capricorn F18 boat assembly

2.4.1. Hulls

Place the 2 cardboard boxes that contain the hulls parallel on a flat surface approximately 2 metres
apart and cut the top part open. The sides of the boxes may be folded down to have a clean and
protective working surface. The 2 cardboard frames per box should keep the hulls upright. Mind
you, those dry cardboard boxes can be slippery.
