Now you are almost ready to go QUBA sailing. All that is left to do is:
• Fit the rudder to the back of the boat
• Check that all the knots and shackles are tied securely.
• Check that the bung is securely in the back of the boat.
1. To fit the rudder, simply line up the pins on the rudder stock with the fitting on
the back of the boat and push down until the retaining clip ‘clicks’ into place.
The rudder may be difficult to get on at first – all it will need is a simple wiggle
from side to side whilst pushing down.
2. To remove the rudder, simply push the retaining clip in and pull the rudder
stock up.
TIME TO GO SAILING!
After launching, the rudder is lowered by pulling the rudder downhaul line and
cleating it. The daggerboard can be inserted in the daggerboard case when the
water is deep enough, make sure the retaining elastic is clipped to the mast! It is
normally best to leave the kicking strap loose while launching, pulling it on as
appropriate once you are sailing.
