Put your

Logo on the port side of the Main Sail 1" from the front edge and 9" down from the top.

Tie one end of a length of Small String to the top of the Main Sail. Tie the other end to the lower hole in the Masthead
Crane so the top of the Main Sail is approx. 1" below the Masthead Crane.

Install the Keel using (2) Nylock Nuts and (2) Washers with rubber seals,
rubber side down toward the Keelson Block. Place your ODOM in the
boat stand.

Insert the wire end of the Pushrod into the outer hole in the Steering
Control Horn. Install the Rudder into the Rudder Tube. Slide the Steering
Control Horn onto the Rudder Shaft and secure by tightening the set
screw with a 3/32" allen wrench (use the Drain Plug hole for easy access).
Attach the Clevis on the forward end of the Pushrod to the steering Servo.

The Main and Jib Sheets are made from Small String and are used to control to movement of the Main and Jib Sails.
Tie a Sheet Connector to one end of each Sheet and rout the Sheets as shown.

Feed the Downhaul line through the Boom Tang, up through the grommet in the lower front corner of the Main Sail,
back down through the Tang and through the last hole in the Large Plastic Bowsie (then tie a knot).

Attach the Outhaul in the same manner as you did on the Jib Sail. Also add a loop of Small String through the same
grommet as the Outhaul and around the Boom.

Tape an 1/8" diameter drill bit or dowel (as a spacer) to the front of the Mast where one of the small grommets is located.
Securely tie a length of Small String through the grommet and around the Mast and spacer. Remove the spacer and
repeat for all 8 grommets in front edge of the Main Sail.
