Assembly

QuikSail Includes

  • Neil Pryde Sail 5′ Rope-Stay System Velcro Strap Folding Frame Storage Bag

  • Begin by unfolding the frame to full length and inserting the halves for each pole.

  • Locate the openings at the bottom of the sail and feed a pole from the wider end of the frame into each one of the openings on the sail. It is best to feed both poles of the frame into the sail at the same time until the frame is fully inserted.

Rope-Stay System

  • Use a simple overhand knot and secure the rope-stay to one of the D-rings located forward of the seat. For kayaks that are not equipped with D-rings, tie one end of the rope-stay to the loop on the base of a deluxe inflatable seat as shown.

  • Place the QuikSail in the bow of your kayak so that its far enough forward that you can brace your feet against the frame.

  • The rope-stay system supports the QuikSail for hands-free operation and assembly is now complete.

TIP: Brace your feet against the bottom of the frame to steady and support the QuikSail.

Rollup & Storage

  • The easiest and most compact way to store the QuikSail is to unfold the frame, roll the sail around it, slide it into the included storage bag and secure it with the drawstring at the top. Make sure the sail is dry before storage.

  • The QuikSail also comes standard with a velcro strap to make transportation of a fully assembled QuikSail even easier.

  • Simply roll the sail around the frame and secure it with the velcro strap around the sail to prevent it from catching wind while transporting.

Optional Accessories

Deluxe Inflatable Seat

  • Made with a strong nylon fabric and two cushions for superior comfort and support. This deluxe seat is compatible with all of our Sea Eagle kayaks. This seat is required if you are using the QuikSail in a kayak that is not equipped with D-Rings.

Child’s Life Vest

  • Children are required by law to wear life jackets in many jurisdictions. Designed for children 50-90 lbs. in weight, this U.S. Coast Guard life jacket features secure belts for a comfortable, secure fit.
