r)
Optional tiller extension: if you have ordered the optionally available tiller
extension, then cut the PVC handgrip on the normal tiller off close to
halfway along the end knob. Doing this reveals a thread in which you can
screw the optional tiller extension. (50)
s)
Now fix karabiner of the mainsail line block into the hole provided on
the rudder mounting (51 - 52).
t)
Place, carry or push the smartkat into the water, at a suitable depth
of water push the rudder into a vertical position until the rudder blade
clicks in, centreboard kicker towards you and secure its line in the self-
releasing clamp provided on the bowsprit until the centreboard is
brought into an absolutely vertical position. This positioning procedure
and the secure hold of the clamp should be thoroughly checked once
again. It is imperative and only permissible to use the smartkat when
the centreboard is in an absolutely vertical position. By not maintaining
the vertical position of the centreboard when sailing, serious damage can
be caused to the centreboard mounting and the entire construction can
break in to pieces. We make you fully aware that failing to carry out this
stipulation will automatically invalidate every claim against the warranty
(53 - 55).
u)
CAUTION: take good note of the applicable laws and regulations and
the need for good seamanship.
ENJOY YOUR smartkat.
