Dave R1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Found this a few minutes ago. A few details think it might be a Weekender. Thought of you. If not, it's a great photo anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umop_apisdn Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I don't quite follow how this sail is rigged. Could someone please explain what is up with the small line leading up through the grommets on the sail luff and out the throat? Thanks, Noel.

Dave R1 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Noel, that line attached the throat of the sail to the gaff throat. It's not the way I do it but I've seen it that way before. Might be in the plans for the Weekender. If I remember correctly the clew of the sail as shown in the plans shows a similar thing.

Charlie Jones Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would suspect that line is the beginning of the lacing of the head to the gaff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umop_apisdn Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 It looks like it would suffer some pretty serious chafing, running up through the gaff jaws like that. Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
