To assemble the boat you will first complete the frame, not including the seat assembly.
The frame is then inserted into the skin and the stern end expanded until the skin is
tight lengthwise. Please read all the instructions, and assemble slowly and carefully the
first time.
1. Begin by checking the contents of the bag to be sure all parts are present.
2.
Locate the bundle of tubing consisting of the curved bow end and the bottom keel. Engage the shock-
corded joints on these pieces to form a straight bottom keel. Lay this assembly on its side.
3. Locate the bow deck strut. Connect the shock-corded joint, and then snap the end with the blue dot
onto the short tube (also marked with a blue dot) fixed to the top of the curved bow end. Ensure the snap
button engages the hole.
4. Now assemble the two upper longeron (gunwale) bundles, identified by the red dots. These are pre-
bent at the factory and may look strange until the crossframes are in place. There will be a right and left
gunwale, and they are correctly positioned when the Velcro is on the outside edge of the boat and the
Velcro ends each match the position of the adjacent tube.
5. Join the gunwales to the curved bow end and
bottom keel assembly. These go on the top
butterfly fixtures next to the red dot on the curved
portion of tubing, with the screw head facing up
(see photo at left).
Depress the snap button at the end of the gunwale
and move the 3” slider back to expose the slot in
the black molded end. Slide the slot onto a wing of
the butterfly fixture from the side, so that the
screw is in the cutout of the wing. Move the slider
back in position until the snap button pops up.
Turn the assembly on its other side and join the
second gunwale in the same manner.
6. Repeat this procedure with the lower longeron bundles, identified by the green dots. These longerons
attach to the lower butterfly fixture, also marked with a green dot. Position the deck strut so that it points
forward and is out of the way.
