• Turn the first crossrib 90° (below) and secure its
position with the little straps.
• Do the same for the second crossrib.

• Take the front keel extension
bar (red marks) to connect it
with the front frame.
• Take the crossrib n°3 (up, red marks). open up the
locker to secure it on the bolt head on the keel bar.
Do the same for the rear half
frame (blue marks).
• connect the crossrib to the top
deck bar with the pin.
• Slide it with a few degrees of angle. A
metal locker holds it in place.

Do the same for the rear half
frame (blue marks).
• Slide the front half
frame into the skin.
• Do the
same for the
rear frame.
• The frame has to be centered in the skin : the
eyelet at the top has to be aligned with the
frame top screw head. Once in tension, the
screw head will be below the eyelet.
• Be careful that the stabilairs hoses and the rudder hoses are not struck
between frame parts and the skin.

• Put the keel into tension : insert
the end of the keel bar into the
lever axle.
• Push the lever towards the ground.
Once in place, turn the latch to secure
the lever.
• Take the two
parts of the
gunwaleand
bent them
until you can
connect them.
• Release the pressure,
the gunwales get back
in place against the
skin. Do the same for
the remaining stringers
(below).

• Get the floorboards in place : the red marks go at the front and the
blue marks at the rear.
• lift the two
floorboards by
the middle of the
boat and lay them
down. Be careful
they are correctly
aligned on the keel.
• Attach the straps over
the floorboards.
FLOORBOARDS

• Put in place the n°5 crossrib which goes at the centre
of the boat. N)5 doesn’t have any marks, while n°4 has
red marks ans n°6 has blue marks. Like the previous
crossribs, secure the locker on the bolt head on the
keel (red arrow).
• Once the croos rib in place, grab the
gunwales and lift it over the notch.
• Do the same for crossribs n°4 and 6.
CENTRAL CROSSRIBS

• Be sure that all eight
bolt heads are passing
through the eyelets.
• Put in place the front half hoop. The
three metallic holes will go on the bolt
heads.
• Then connect the side bars (red marks
towards the front). They also click on the
bolt heads.
• Put in place the rear half
hoop..
COCKPIT RIM

SEATS
• There are a low and and high
seat. The highe one goes at the
front. Inflate the seats before put-
ting them in the boat.
• To get the cockpit wtaretight, insert the sem into the slot of the cockpit
rim. Start from the rear.
• Attach the rear tying the straps
around the crossrib.
• Do the same at the front.
LAST STEP
• Inflate the stabilairs (without
too much pressure). Your Grand
Narak is ready to hit the water !

• Kayak maintenance : rince your boat on the inside and outside after
each outing at sea. Rub with a sponge to get the salt away. Wash it
with soapy water if necessary. Dry it carefully before storing it in its
bag for a long period of time.
• Disassembly of the kayak : do the other way round. Deflate the
stabilairs. Get the cockpit rim off, then the floorboards. Disassemble
the the three half center crossrib. Release the central tension, pulling
on the lever. Grab the gunwales and disconnect them. Do the same
for the stringers. Take the kayak by its front handle and slap the skin
and shake the kayak. It will help a sticking frame to get free of the
skin. Get the front half frame out, then the rear. Disassemble the
parts.
Fold the skin on its side, the deck on the inside. The kayak has to be
dry, if you have to fold it while still being humid, don’t delay to get it
out of its bag to avoid moisture.
