Section 1 – Inspection
Carefully remove the boat, boat stand and radio transmitter from the box. Inspect the boat
and make certain that no damage is present. If any damage is found, please contact the Pro
Boat retailer where the model was purchased.
Section 2 – Rigging Installation
1. Assemble the boat stand as shown and
use a wood glue or CA hobby glue to bond
the pieces together. Place the hull on the
stand.
2. Slide the upper and lower mast halves
together.
3. Slide the mast assembly into the fitting
on the top of the hull.
4. Carefully unroll the sails from the mast.
The main sail will be attached to the top
of the mast at the crane. The jib sail
(front sail) will be attached to the front of
the crane as shown.

Section 2 – Rigging Installation
5. Locate the main sail boom. Slide the
screw through the eyelet and use a
Phillips screwdriver to secure the end of
the boom. Do not over tighten as the sail
boom will move as the sails are adjusted.
Apply a drop of threadlock on the nut and
thread it onto the screw from the bottom
of the boom mount.
6. Locate the end of the main sail marked
"G". Pass the line tied to the main sail
through the hole in the rear end of the
main sail boom. Pull the line until the
main sail is taut, and the distance
between the boom and sail is between
1
3/4-inch and 1
/4-inch. Secure the excess
line by wrapping it around the cleat and
placing the end of the line in the notches
of the cleat.
7. Locate the other end of the main sail.
Pass the line tied to the main sail through
the hole in the boom mount. Position the
line so the distance between the boom
and sail is equal to the other side of the
sail. Secure the excess line by wrapping it
around the cleat and placing the end of
the line in the notches of the cleat.
Note: Do not adjust the tension of any
of the lines at this time. This will be
done in Section 4, “Adjusting the
Rigging Cables.”

8. Carefully unwrap the top, side rigging
lines.
9. Insert the side rigging line into the
outer hole in the spreader as shown.
10. Open the rigging clip and attach it to
the eye plate marked "C, D." Close the
wire clip.
11. Carefully unwrap the mid-line rigging
marked "D."
Note: The spreader has a small notch
in the outer hole. The inner hole will
not be used, making it easier to insert
the line. Simply push the rigging line
through the slot.
12. Open the rigging clip and attach it to
the eye plate marked "D." Close the wire
clip.

Section 2 – Rigging Installation
13. Locate the jib sail boom. The end of
the jib boom with the cleat should be on
the top and nearest the front of the boat.
Pass the rigging line from the front of the
jib sail into the hole on the end of the
boom.
14. Position the line so the distance
between the boom and sail is between
1
3/4-inch and 1
/4-inch. Secure the excess
line by wrapping it around the cleat and
placing the end of the line in the notches
of the cleat.
15. Repeat Step 17 for the other end of
the jib sail.
Hint: The jib boom will be parallel to
the bottom of the jib sail once Steps 17
and 18 are complete.
16. Carefully unwrap the bow rigging
cable marked "A." Attach the rigging cable
to the fitting at the bow of the boat
marked "A."
17. Carefully unwrap the stern rigging
cable marked "B." Attach the rigging cable
to the fitting at the stern of the boat
marked "B."
