Fix both 

stowing elements 

on each side to the 

velcro strap of the kayak (wherever you like) and 
stow the remaining black rope on one of them. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

   

 

 

 
 
 
 

 
To hold the sail back when you do not use it, 

use 

the elastic cord

. Attach the cord to the D-ring of 

the seat backrest, put the cord around the folded 
sail and fix it to the lower D-ring using the 
second 

carabiner

.

 

 

 

 
When you release the black rope, the sail falls 
immediately down.  
On the contrary, to get the sail up, throw it while 
pulling the black rope.  
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
If you sail by crosswind, you can add stowing 
points. 
Use the PVC glue to fix the provided D-rings as 
shown on the picture.
