MALIBU OWNERS MANUAL
8 Version 3.0
6. On the rear leading edge tubes, note the slot at the inner end. This slot locates
the leading edge onto the locating pin when it fits into the front leading edge tube.
7. Take the rear leading edge for the right side and slide it inside the sail at the right
wing tip. As you proceed, hold the dive strut against the leading edge so that it
can slide in too and then make sure that the dive strut exits the sail via the small
hole in under surface of the sail.
8. Move to the leading edge where the front and rear leading edges meet and open
the inspection zip. Align the rear leading edge so that it slides inside the front
leading edge. Rotate the rear leading edge until the slot (previously noted)
locates into the locating pin that is in the front leading edge. Do NOT remove the
locating pin, there is no need.
9. At the wing tip, check that the dive strut is exiting the sail correctly. If not, you
may need to rotate the outer leading edge 180 degrees. Do this by sliding it
partially out of the front leading edge so that it is free of the locating pin on the
front leading edge.
10. At the wing tip, the sail is held in place by a strap that fits over the end of the
leading edge. There is also a Velcro band that goes around the leading edge
after the strap is fitted. To fit the strap, put your left hand inside the sail and grip
the leading edge. With your right hand pull the sail strap over the leading edge.
There is an extra loop on the sail tip that you put your fingers in to pull the sail.
Fasten the Velcro band around the leading edge tube; the Velcro may get hidden
between the leading edge tube and the sail and you will need to pull it out with
your fingers.
Tip 1: Before fitting the strap, put the Velcro band around the tube and just attach
the very tips. This stops it getting caught behind the tube.
Tip 2: If the strap is hard to fit, try spreading the wings a little more or less if you
having difficulty.
11. Repeat steps 7 to 10 for the left wing.
Verify that the straps are on the right way up. It’s possible to have them 180
