Step 11: Glueing of the nose bag

The nose bag is the piece of Dacron that is glued to the nose, under the leading edges. On the back side of the sail we will use the nose bag to put the top end of the spine in.

Watch Out: The middle part of the nose bag may NOT be glued at the backside!

1. Mark the centre of the nose bag. On the side that will be used for the back of the kite, mark two lines at 12 mm from the border.

2. Put glue on both sides of the nose bag WITHOUT glueing the space for the spine.

3. Slide the back part of the nose bag under the sail and bring it in line with the top of the sail.

4. Fold the nose bag over and apply enough pressure.
