Mainsheet.

Step 2:

Slide the

mast into

the sail.

Step 4: Tie in the batten (Note: Be sure that when

tying, the batten is pushed snug into the sail.

Feed the line through

the hold in the batten cap.

Next, feed the line through

ring on the opposite side of

the sail and pull back snug

into the ‘v’jam.

Step 5: Insert mast

into base and attach

stretch cord to hook

at mast base.

TIP: Tie the end of the

mainsheet in a knot after

sliding it through the

ring at the seatback strap

connection point. This

helps keep the end of the

line from falling into

the water if you should

happen to lose your grip.

Step 7: Run the mainsheet from the sail,

through the rear pad-eye, and up through the

right clip on your seat. This configuration

allows you to steer with your left hand and

control the sail with your right.

Step 6: Attach sail stays to kayak and

adjust tension. Start with side shrouds by

attaching them to each side of the kayak

securing stay hooks to each stainless ring.

Tension stopper knots until mast is straight.

Finish by attaching the forstay to the bow

ring and adjust slack until mast and sail are

straight and snug.
