Assembly instructions
• Assemble the boatstand by fitting together the front
support (part 1), the rear support (part 2) and the
side panels (part 3); take care to glue the joints
securely. Paint the finished stand when the glue is
dry, and apply the self-adhesive foam tape (part 4)
to the contact surfaces (not shown in the photo).
The tape avoids scratches to the painted hull.
• Assemble the keel / mast socket (part 5).
IMPORTANT: don’t follow the outside shape of the
vacuum-moulded parts when gluing the parts
together. It is the inside area, which accepts the
keel, which is important: the sides must be exactly
parallel, otherwise the keel will not fit properly later.
• Glue a mast support reinforcement (part 6) on each
side of the keel / mast socket on the underside, at
the position of the semi-circular lugs.
• Glue together the two servo mount supports (part
7), and adjust the slot for the keel / mast socket so
that the supports are an easy sliding fit on the
socket. Glue this assembly to the keel / mast
socket, aligned exactly as shown; the dimensions
are stated on the plan. NOTE: one of the supports
has a deeper slot for the keel / mast socket; this
part should face down.
• Glue the completed keel / mast socket in the hull
(part 8), taking care to position it accurately. Apply
a fillet of UHU acrylit all round on the underside, to
ensure that the socket is completely watertight.
• Sand back the bow reinforcement (part 9) until it is
an easy, snug fit in the tip of the bow. Glue the
reinforcement in place securely using UHU acrylit.
NOTE: take care to position the reinforcement
accurately, as the central girder (part 25) must rest
on it later.
• Glue one of the rudder bush reinforcements (part
10) over the hole for the rudder bush.
• Glue the two reinforcements for the sail servo (part
12) and the reinforcement for the jib trim servo
(part 13) to the underside of the servo plate (part
11). Adjust the opening for the keel / mast socket
so that the plate is a snug sliding fit over it, without
compressing the socket. NOTE: the servo plate
without the servo opening should be used if you
