Only directions are what it says here! It says put the elastic around the nose of your yak but my elastic is not centered, if I do that, my "window" is not horizontal like the photos. Also there's an extra line with 2 hooks & a tightener that I cannot figure out so when one end came untied I just removed the whole bit. It may work by hooking the 2 short lines with carabiners to the nose handle, then putting the long lines over my head & around my back for steering. We'll see. I'll give it a shot. I bought 2 others as gifts, I'm curious if everyone's elastic is off center by over a foot! Also, if the elastic goes around the nose of the yak & the wind is presumably blowing from behind, wouldn't it just push the sail forward & yank the elastic off? I think my way will be better, if it works at all.

Possibly if there are anchors to attach it. It didn't work that well for me as the upper strap tends to hit you in the head. Steering my kayak was tough because the straps were always in the way.
It doesn’t come with one but maybe you can use a tent pole repair kit? Or try the hardware store, they have lots of tubing options. Word of caution, the loop may be made of fiberglass so wear gloves when handling. Hope this helps!
