3) Assembling stern
You need:
Stern segment
4x Stringer element without lock
4x Stringer element with lock
1x Keel rod #4 with spherical end
1x Cross rib #5 (the smaller of two
cross ribs with steel hooks)
1x Ridge bar
First clip a stringer element without lock on
each of the four side ward elements at the
stern segment, then one Stringer element
with lock.
The remaining keel rod #4 with the
spherical end is placed to the keel of the
stern segment.
The cross rib #5 is inserted similar to the
cross rib #2.
Which means, that the remaining ridge bar
is joined to the cross rib and then, while
pushing it to the pickup element on the
keel rod, it is inserted to the pickup at the
stern segment.
Then clip the stringer elements to the
cross rib #5.
Ensure, that
all snap buttons face inside
the kayak!
The stern element is fully assembled and
should result in the image on the left.
