Sail Assembly Instructions
5
1. Find a large clean area where you can lay the sail
flat.
2. The sail battens are the
long flexible white rods which
are inserted into long pockets
on the sails. These pockets
run diagonally along the face
of the sail. Simply insert the
battens into the pockets and
run them all the way to the
bottom.
3. Once the battens are fully installed, apply tension to
them to keep them in the pocket. Follow the diagram
below for the proper lacing procedure. Make sure to tie
a knot at the end of the line to prevent it from falling off
the batten.
4. The Island’s
composite mast is two
pieces, so simply slide
the top of the mast into
the lower end.
5. Now slide the small end of the mast into the mast
sleeve all the way to the top of the sail. Once the mast
reaches the top of the sail, make sure the webbing gets
pressed into the fitting at the top of the sail, as shown
below.
6. In the small parts bag, there is a small length of line
that is used to apply a “down” force along the sleeve of
the sail (called downhaul). Tie one end of the line to the
small webbing loop at the base of the sail sleeve using a
bowline knot.
Cleat off line
in batten and
tie a knot at
the end of the
line.
Pull on line to
press batten
into pocket.
