Display Stand Assembly

1. Locate the display stand parts ,

then assemble the stand as

shown at right. Use 3x15mm

wood screw to secure the

Hull Support and Al. Stand

B . You may apply a thin

bead of 5-min. epoxy at the joint

before you insert the Al. Stand B.

2. Next Insert the other four Legs

and install the Feet . It is

not necessary to apply any

epoxy for these four legs and

feet.

3. Locate the black Foam Tube

then use scissors to cut the

foam tube so it can be installed

on the hull support as shown.

This will protect the hull bottom

from scratches during

construction and storage.

4. Now you can place the Hull

on the display stand during

construction.

ETNZ 1-METER AMERICA’S CUP RACING YACHT

Keel Assembly

1. Refer to the illustration and

apply the decal on the Keel .

2. Thread the O-ring onto the

keel shaft.

3. Apply a generous amount of

epoxy to the slot of Ballast Bulb

and insert the keel, securing

with the M4 Locknut by using

the furnished small 4-way

wrench. Wipe out the excess

epoxy. Excess epoxy that

over-flows the ballast bulb can

be smoothed out with a wet

finger, or removed using rubbing

alcohol. This must be done

before the epoxy hardens.

4. Secure the Stabilizer with the

two 3x8mm Sink Head Screws .

Keel and Rudder Tube

Assembly

1. Insert the Keel Tube from hull

top and reach the hull bottom then

epoxy the two End Caps in

place. There are three big end

caps and one small end cap.

The small one for the bottom hull.

Note: end caps are working as

waterproof and epoxy will help to

fill the gap between cap and

tube. Keel Tube might need to

trim the length , to keep it level

with the deck. However, do not

leave any excess epoxy on the

inside the tube as it will be difficult

to insert the keel shaft if there is

any hardened epoxy inside.

Note: You may need to sand

contact area A of the hull if tube

is higher than the deck.

2. Using the same way to install

Rudder Tube and the other

two end caps in place then allow

the epoxy to cure.

ETNZ 1-METER AMERICA’S CUP RACING YACHT

install the Winch Line Guide A

from the inside of the hull then

secure Winch Line Guide A and B

same procedure for the other winch

line guide assembly.

2. Trial fit the keel in place,trim the

contact area if necessary. Make

sure the keel fit into the hull

properly. Secure the keel shaft with

M4 Locknut by using the

furnished 4 way wrench. The keel

can make it inconvenient when

moving the hull around during

assembly.

3. Please use care when placing

the hull on stand as the stabilizer

will contact the Al. Stand B, it will

need slightly to rotate the hull and

let stabilizer go through the display

stand.

4. Install Rudder in place by

securing the Steering Arm and

Collar with 3x5mm Screw .

In this step you will need to connect

the Pushrod by threading the

Z-bend end to steering arm first

then thread the other end to the hull

so you can secure the arm with

collar inside to the rudder shaft as

illustration. Note: the pushrod and

rudder should perpendicular to the

steering arm.
