AquaCraft King's Ransom - Manual (Page 6)

By this point you should have four strings hanging from the
large sail. The two small strings with hooks are used to secure
the sail when in the rolled position. The remaining longer
strings will be attached in a later step. NOTE: When the time
comes you will repeat these steps for the center sail as well.
MAIN MAST AND CENTER SAIL (BAG 2)
❏
1. Slide the main (center) mast into the hole located in the
center of the lower deck. Again using the numbering system
and the proper screws, attach the rigging to the sides of the
hull. Use the spacer washers to adjust the tension of the
rigging as needed.
❏
2. At this point we can rig the remaining strings from the
front mast sail. Route each of the long strings through the
upper pulleys located on the center mast. Tie off both of the
strings at the lower portion of the center mast. Set the tension
rather loose since these strings are only for esthetics and
should not carry any load.
❏
3. Using the large sail attachment technique previously
mentioned, you can now attach the large center sail (main
sail) with the set screws on the set collars.
NOTE: Your Kings Ransom should “only” be sailed with
the sails up in very light to no wind conditions and
should NEVER be sailed with the sails down.
