• Unfold Rival X

    Posted by Jeff on August 26, 2024 at 10:42 am

    Is there a video of the unfolding of a Rival X?

    The folding video in reverse seems obvious but is it 1/2 the upper battens, set haul-back and then the other half of the upper battens?

    I like to secure as many battens as possible before hauling back so that they seat well in the front of the pocket. But since the sprogs need to go up after you haul back you really cannot get the last 5-6 battens in without undoing them again.

    As usual, I don’t understand. Undoing? I also don’t know when to secure the strings to the battens. Secure each one as you put them in or after they are all in? Or half?

    I have had great difficulty pulling the haul back. Sometimes needed help.

    So the last two things are sprogs (which first) and then tip battens.
