Position the hulls parallel on the ground approxima-

tely 2.5 meters apart. Prepare the front crossbar.

Unscrew the nuts off of the two 2 external head

bolts. Unscrew the nuts also off of the two internal

headless bolts.

HULLS

See drawing next page for positioning of bolts

All go round the boat and tighten all eight bolts.

Lift the right hull into an upright position. One person

straddles the hull to hold in position. The other one ap-

plies the silicone sealant (for waterproofing) around the

bolt holes and on rivets.

Repeat the same operation for the other hull.

Repeat step 1 and 2 for the rear crossbar.

5 6

Taking the front crossbar, position it on

the crossbar moulding in the deck ma-

king sure that the eye strap on the bar

is facing to the rear of the boat and the

remaining headless bolt on the cross

bar fits in the hole on the deck. Insert

the long external screw.

Pass your hand through the inspec-

tion port to position the nuts and

washers onto the long bolt and the

headless bolt.

NB : Periodically check the

tightness of all 8 bolts.

•

FORWARD SPREADER BAR

Forward spreader bar assembly/Montage de la barre

de maintien parallèle.

It is highly recommended to install the forward

spreader bar if the loaded weight is more than 75

kg and wind force more than 3. Failure to respect

this recommendation may cause structural da-

mages on the hulls that will not be covered by

warranty.

Identify the right side from the left

side of the bar (look for the sti-

ckers) and position it the right way

between the two hulls. Unscrew

one of the screws fixing the pad-

eye on the hull and attach the bar

as shown on the photo.

VERY IMPORTANT / TRES IMPORTANT

Never use the forward spreader bar to carry the boat. Use the 4 handles

(2 at the front, 2 at the rear of the boat) to carry the boat.

•

Unfold the trampoline. Note that the side tension

lines are prethreaded. Insert the front sealed bolt

rope edge into the trampoline track of the front

crossbar. Continue feeding the trampoline into the

trampoline track and position it in the centre. Line

up the grommet in the centre of the front edge of

the trampoline with the dolphin striker post. This

will position the trampoline in the centre.

TRAMPOLINE

Trampoline fitting

Commence lacing the rear of the trampoline. The

lacing line ties off on the lacing post at the left rear

of the rear beam. Pass the line around the rod and

back around the first lacing post. Lead the line

around the second lacing post and pass it around

the rod on the first trampoline cut out. Now, come

back around the second lacing post and continue

towards the third. Continue all the way across the

beam in the same fashion and tie off loosely. Do

not attempt to tighten the rear lacing too much at

this stage.

Pull the trampoline to the back of the boat

and insert the fibreflass rod into the rear

flap of the trampoline. Leave an equal

amount protruding from each side.

•

TRAMPOLINE

Now lead the end of the line through the eyestrap on the rear of the front beam

and back through the loop. Lead the end back through the eyestrap and apply as

much tension as possible. Maintaining the tension, lead the line through the grom-

met and back to the eyestrap. Next, lead the line through the grommet in the front

edge of the trampoline and tie off securely. Repeat procedure for port side.

Move to the front right corner of

the trampoline. Pull on the line

as firmly as possible and tie a

bowline knot or loop in the line

as close to the trampoline edge

as possible. This will enable a

4:1 purchase to be used for ten-

sioning. Tie off once tensioned

to secure.

Tensioning the sides : starting at the right rear corner, take the

line that emerges from the trampoline. Lead it through the eye

strap on the rear beam and then through the grommet/eyelet.

Tie it off with a bowline knot or similar.

Retighten rear lacing from left to right. Tie the rear lacing off securely at the eyelet posts on the right hand end

of the rear beam. NB :

It is important that the trampoline lacing is kept very tight. Check the trampoline tension

on a regular basis. Remember : all ropes streches!

•

RUDDER ASSEMBLY

Montage du gouvernail

Identify the right rudder from the left rudder (look for

the stickers on the rudder arms). As shown, line up

the rudder pintles (metal pegs on the hulls) with the

rudder castings . Push the rudder castings down

onto the pintles.

Insert the retainer clip attached to the lower pintle to

lock the rudders in place. The clip will prevent the

rudders from falling off the boat in the event of cap-

size.
