support the wing under the keel tube with it as shown on the figure 11.
12. Remove the wingtip protection bags and install the last three cambered outboard top surface battens.
13. The next step is installing the batten tips into the hems of the trailing edge. At each batten, make sure
the opening in the underside of the trailing edge hem is spread to accept the tab on the batten tip. Make
sure the tab slides fully into the hem.

CAUTION
INSERT THE BATTENS CAREFULLY, SO AS
TO MINIMISE STRESS AND WEAR ON THE
SAIL.
Never insert or remove battens with the crosstube
tensioned (except for up to the last three on each
side) and never insert or remove battens with
heavy wind pressure on the top of the sail or in
any condition which causes the battens to slide
with great resistance in the pockets.
To open or close the batten tip lever
,
press firmly
on the undersurface of the tip lever to disengage
or engage it.
14. Install the trailing edge carbon battens in the trailing edge pockets as shown on the figure 13. Make
sure the batten insert installed into the hem of the trailing edge (fig. 14).
