HULLS

Hull assembly

1

Lay the hulls on the ground on their sides with the bot­toms to the center (graphics down) as in figure 1. A tarp
or pads may be desirable under the hull if the ground
surface is rough.

There is one plug in the rear of each hull (shown inset).
These plugs are used to drain the hulls. The plugs
should be in place before sailing. Remove the plugs af­ter sailing to drain any water that may have leaked into
the hulls. It is best to travel and store the boat with the
plugs removed to allow for pressure changes due to
heating, cooling and altitude changes. This will prevent
warping of the hull surface.

2

Lift the front crossbar and insert the left end into the left
hull. Lift the rear crossbar and insert the left end into the
left hull. NB : The crossbars have stops built into the un­derside that will limit the depth the crossbars can be in­serted.
Identify the right and the left trampoline halves and slide
the front of this in the track of the front crossbar.

Insert the rear trampoline stripe in the rear crossbar. In­sert the right side of the front crossbar in the right hull
and the right side of the rear crossbar in the right hull.
Feed the outside edges of the trampoline halves thr ou g h
the trampoline tracks attached to the inside edge of the
deck.

NB : A tight trampoline gives the boat its rigidity.
