4. Needed Tools
You will need the following tools in order to assemble your FLYING PHANTOM Essentiel:
1. Flat wrench : 7, 8, 10, 17, et 19 mm
2. Hexagonal wrench CHC : M4, M5 et M6
3. Screwdriver and hexagonal screwdriver
4. Universal pliers
5. Tape measurer 5m
6. Torque measurer
7. Cable tensiometer
8. Angle measurer
9. Navy fat
10. Teflon or soapy water
11. Grey tape
TOOLS

5. Beach Trolley Set-up
1. Start with the 2-pieces axle and insert the connector. Align the second half of the axle and
tighten the grub screws. Slide the inner fixation elements onto the axle against the inner

2. Complete both roller bearing units by clicking the pins into the pin-holder. Slide the roller-
bearing units onto the axle once they are completed.
3. Get the wheels on the axle. Take the other fixation elements to hold the wheels safe in place.
4. Get the cradles onto the axle.
BEACH TROLLEY

6. Platform
6.1. Hulls
1. Introduce some navy fat in the inserts.
2. Pre-arch of the front beam: loosen the dolphin striker, stretch a thread between the two
external bolts then screw back again the dolphin striker to reach a value of 4-5mm.
3. Set the hulls in parallel and at the same height on the chocks.
4. Be sure that the internal reinforcements are well positioned on the beams.
PLATFORM

12
5. Loosen the beam hood screws, remove the bolts from the beams.
6. Put the four Dyneema textile shackles on beam for blocking the wings (W1029)
7. Position the front beam and introduce the bolts in it without tightening them. Repeat the
procedure with the back beam.
If the bolts are not immediately facing the hulls holes, gently move up the hulls front or back.
8. Do not immediately tighten the bolts in order to facilitate the trampoline positioning.
9. One must comply with the maximum onboard weight of 152 kg. If the onboard weight
exceeds 152Kg one must increase the buoyancy reserve of each hull. Compensate each Kg by
increasing the buoyancy of one liter. As an example if the onboard weight is of 200Kg, one
must increase the buoyancy reserve of 48 liters (24 liters per hull). In order to do so, you may
introduce 6 polyethylene foam noodles of 4 liters each in each hull via the hatches
6.2. Trampoline
1. See the List of parts on page 7 (and further) and take Trampo Assy, Big box Trampo Assy et
Big box/ Trampo/ MS.
2. Remove the front beam cover.
3. Insert the trampoline bolt-rope in the beam groove.
4. Center the trampoline, then set the winch pulleys Harken 2625) with the textile shackle
(PA1901) in the eyelets and corresponding saddle.
5. Put soapy water (ideally some teflon) in the hull groove.
PLATFORM

13
6. Introduce the trampoline one centimeter on each side in the groove of the hulls. Then,
without forcing, keep introducing the trampoline little by little alternating on one side then
the other. Use two ropes as a tackle between the back beam and the trampoline as shown
here below. Make sure you introduce the trampoline all the way to the end.
7. Screw the bolts all the way tightly.
8. After the first sailing session, ensure that the bolts are tightly screwed.
9. Lace-up the trampoline tension rope as shown on the figure here below, starting from the
eyelet as far left as possible. Stretch tight. One can also use a hook to stretch tight.
PLATFORM

14
10. To install the rope of central rack T1115, undo the screw connecting the worm screw to the
bilge of the foil, holding the nut underneath and pass the end around the same screw, and
the pulley.
11. Strech the central rack T1115 rope thanks to rope T1109 (Grey Dyneema).
12. Install IPS SP1306 sheets. Connect them using the elastic band T1116.
PLATFORM

15
13. Install the gennaker furler rope T1117 using the rope (fixing shackle gennaker furler rope
T1116). Ensure that the rope of the gennaker furler goes under the other trampoline ropes
and between the 2 lips of the groove, as shown on the pictures.
14. Preinstall the mast rotator rope M2903.
PLATFORM

15. Install Main Sail tackle using the trailor axis.

7. Mast
7.1. Diamond
1. Look at the plans of the following pages and use the packs Big box/mast/spreaders, Big
box/mast/mastfoot and Big box/rigging
2. Install the spreaders.
3. Undo the mast foot.
4. Install the Cables M1803 in diamond bronze M1902, the cable ending screw must be flush to
the diamond bronze; insert them inside the mast, then through the two slits at the bottom of
the mast, and hang them on the metal parts of either side of the mast.

5. Install the mast foot. Make sure there is some navy grease. Install diamond tensioner screw in
the mast foot and then in the diamond bronze.
6. Screw back the mast foot, starting with the screws on either side of the mast.
7. Put the cables on the spreaders and tighten screw.
8. Make sure the mast is straight. If not, adjust using the threaded stem of the diamond cable by
repeating the former procedure.
9. Tighten the threaded stem until pre-arching the mast (approximately 350 Kg of tension in the
cables).
10. Check that the spreaders are perpendicular to the mast.
11. Wrap the ligation of spreader M2601 around the cable.

7.2. Cables
1. Take the Big box/rigging, Big box/trapeze packs and Pack rigging.
2. Lay the mast on the boat, spreaders down, and with the top of the mast to the rear of the
boat.
3. Arrange the cables with regard to the mast: a shroud Str M3503 on each side and the Str
M3405 forestay in the middle.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the trapezes M2707 and M2708.
5. Fix the trapezes on the side of the small loop at the shrouds eyelet with a lark’s head as
shown below.
6. Attach the cables to the mast using the caping shackle of the mast. Insert the washers to
remove the loose.
