Foiling models 

1.

 

Insert the centreboard into the centre case from above, so that it sticks out around 50mm under the 
boat (so you can see the hole on the port side) and hold it in place with the toggle clamp.

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Attach the horizontal main foil under the boat whilst on the trolley by aligning the pins, press the push 
button in and slide the foil it up into place. 

 

Make sure the push button is fully engaged before going sailing. The button will sit flush on the outside 
surface of the rudder.  

 

  

  

 

 

3.

 

When leaving the shore, use the foil clamp to hold the centreboard at the appropriate height to safely 
leave the shore.
