Assembly
1. Open the wing bag, make sure that the A-frame is on top, and remove fastenings and paddings.
2. Assemble the A-frame with the push-pin. Cables must not pass through the inside.
3. Lift the wing from the front and rotate it so that the wing is laying with the assembled control
frame flat on the ground. Carefully open the two half wings to their maximum extent.
4. Slip the tensioning handle behind the foot of the king post
taking care to pass the cables
under the front central strap that links the two nose battens in front of the king
post foot (
.
5. Fit the king post plastic head at the top of the king post without entangling pitch lines.
6. Fit the king post onto its locating lug on the keel, between the two tensioning cables, taking care
not to cross them and not to pinch the flexible neoprene central link.
7. Carefully slide the upper sail bent battens in their respective pockets and tension the sail by
fastening the Easyfit tighteners (Figure 5-1).

Path of Tensioning Cables
8. Pull the cross tube swan catch tensioner towards the trailing edge, inside the triangle formed by the
retaining strap of the central battens on the keel behind the king post and under the pulleys blocks
of the CORSET, then hook it to the rail screw at the keel tip (Figure 5-2). To ease the operation,
carefully center the A-frame, ensure that the tabs and heat shrink coverings of the lower lateral
cables do not get stuck in the sail opening at the cross tube/leading edge connection and that the
stainless steel tabs line up with the control bar.
9. Pull down the swan catch tension lever and fix it in the rail with the pushpin.
10. Raise the nose of the wing and lift it on its A-frame. To avoid dragging the tips of the wing on the
ground, it is recommended that a second person hold the back of the keel.
