Attaching Lines
Always lay out the fly lines from the foil opposite to the wind.
Use lark's head knots to secure the lines to the foil bridle
and the handles (see drawing), which form loops on the ends
of each fly line. Pull the lark's head knots tight on the bridle
or handle line and stop the knots at the connection points.
When hooking up the lines, ensure that the fly lines are
correctly secured to the bridle and the handles and make
absolutely certain that the left and right side and the power
lines (thicker) and brake lines (thinner) have not been switched.
A knot leader allows for the foil to be adjusted at different
connection points on the braking bridle. The bridle is adjusted
such that the third knot
ensures for good control via
the brake if the fly lines are
the same length.
conversion set it used, the
first knot is used for
adjustment (see figure on
page 17 + 28).
Once the foil is set up and
the lines are connected,
secure it to the ground
stake. To do this, wind the
brake line around the ground stake direct on the handles so that
the foil remains flat on the ground while braked. Alternatively,
you can use the extra loops on the lower end of some 4-line
handles.
