Sail & Rigging

Connect the 2 piece

mast by sliding the

halves together. Then

carefully slide the mast

into the sail through the

opening at the bottom

until it is stopped by the

head cap at the other

end.

Insert the batten into the

opening near the top of

the sail. Once it is fully

inserted, tie the rope to

the fitting.

Place the mast with the

sail on it into the mast

step. Pull the sail down

as far as it will go.

Locate the rope labeled

Sail to Mast Step. Tie

one end to the corner of

the sail and the other

end to the loop in the

base of the mast step

so the sail cannot slide

up the mast during use.

CAUTION/WARNING!

The mast that is on

PaddleSki is not

insulated and could act

as an electrical conduc-

tor. Do not install the

mast near power lines

and make sure you are

clear of them in any lo-

cation, especially while

on the water.

Run the main sheet, the

longest and thickest

rope, through the grom-

met in the corner of the

sail and tie a knot so it

cannot slip through the

grommet.

Run the free end of the

main sheet through the

white ring at the back of

the boat and up next to

the seat. This rope will

control the sail when

sailing. You will need to

duck your head when

tacking.

The sail can be furled

around the mast without

removing the batten.

Tightly wrap the sail

around the mast. Run

the strap through the

center of the buckle and

out the outer slot. Pull

strap tight.
