ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 

Before  assembling  your  Folbot,  take  time  to  familiarize  yourself  with  all  the  parts  and  the  terminology 
used. You should find the following contents when you unpack your boat for the first time. 

 

 

 
4 bundles of longerons
 — Each longeron bundle is four pre-bent sections shockcorded together. The two 
upper sections (called gunwales) are identified by red dots on the ends and have Velcro attached, and the 
two lower sections are identified by green dots. 
 
2 gunwale extenders — These will slide into the open end of the gunwale longerons. 
 
1 rear duck strut — Made up of one section of tubing with a black tube eye mounted to one end. 
 
1 bow deck strut — Made up of two sections of tubing shockcorded together, and identified by a blue dot. 
 
1 stern keel tensioner mechanism
 — A curved member with a threaded nylon rod and yellow hand wheel. 
 
1  bottom  keel  bundle  of  longerons
  —  This  bundle  consists  of  a  curved  section  shockcorded  to  four 
sections of bottom keel (labeled #1 through #3).  
 
3 crossframes
— Anodized black and numbered #1 through #3. 
 
1 seat
 — Black anodized two-piece frame with cushioned bottom and backrest attached by Velcro. 
 
1 cockpit frame
 — Oval-shaped aluminum tubing identified by the spiraled Velcro. 

 
1  boatskin
  —  Note  how  the  boatskin  is  folded  so  you  can  put  it  back  into  the  bag  correctly  when 
disassembled.  
 
2 yellow inflatable sponsons (about 10 feet long) with Velcro on one side of each.
