Assembly instructions 

  Carefully unpack the model, the masts and all the 

small items. 

NOTE: 

don’t forget the four davits: they 

are packed in white protective film, and are easily 
overlooked. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

Assemble the boatstand and glue the joints. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  Uses the tip of a knife to lever up the central leaf-

spring in the receiver connector attached to the 
sailwinch, then cautiously withdraw the red wire and 
its contact from the connector housing. Bend the wire 
double and wrap adhesive tape round the bare 
contact to insulate it. 

NOTE:

 this measure is 

necessary because both the sailwinch and the speed 
controller feature a BEC system, and only one of 
them may be used. If you are installing the 
recommended RC components, the NAVY V40R 
features the more powerful BEC system, so this one 
should be used. 

 
 
 
 

  Unscrew the sheet guide flange, and install the 

sailwinch in the appropriate position. Unscrew the 
bezel from the sailwinch switch, fit the switch through 
the opening from the underside, and screw the bezel 
on the switch again. 

NOTE:

 check that the bezel is 

the right way round (switch ON / OFF position). Press 
the switch into the opening.
