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.

Vang rope tailing system
Only for boats with vang tailing system option.
Ensure wings are properly connected to the boat before connecting.
1.
Pull the end of the vang rope through the loop on the forward end of the outer wing bar.
2.
On the underneath side of the wing (where the orange stripes are) near the aft and inner wing bar,
there is a sister clip. Pull both sister clips together and connect them.
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 Skeeta.
2.
Insert the rudder pin and secure it with the ring provided.
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.
