When the vang is applied, the luff is free to move down the mast, which applies both luff and leach tension
at the same time. This greatly simplifies the controls and gives more time to concentrate on sailing the boat.
Rudder box/tiller
The rudder box and tiller are a single unit.
1.
Position the rudder box over both plates on the stern post of Nikki.
2.
Insert the rudder pin and secure it with the ring provided.
3.
The tiller extension clips into place.
For foiling, there is no adjustment of rake, or tiller twist grip control as this is not required with this foil
design.
4.
Loop the shock-cord over the tiller and through the olive clip and tension as required.
Always make sure the shock cord across the rudder is loose as this helps the boat to round up if
you do go overboard.
TIP:
If you find it difficult to attach the vang, it can be easier to
attach the mainsheet first and apply pressure to the sail.
This will lower the boom and will allow the vang to be easily attached.
