timbo2 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 I've about finished up with my boat, and need to rig it, but I don't know s*** from shinola about what to get and where to install it! Not much of a sailor (yet). Does anyone have any good pictures and/or advice as to what parts I'll need and just exactly where to install them? I could post a picture of the inside of my boat if it helps. Tim Quote
cbuxton41 Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Hello Tim, What parts are you refering to. Do you mean the complete sail rig or just the hardware? Quote
timbo2 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 I bought the sail from B&B, but that's all I have. The rudder hardware is easy. What I need is specifics on exactly what I need for the top of the mast (pully/sheave assembly?), what's needed for holding the mast in the step, and hardware for the sail/boom/controls and where to mount them.

Hirilonde Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 The easiest solution, and a rather economic one is to call Carla and order a hardware kit for the boat. If you already have the tiller stuff tell her that. You should have a rigging/sail plan in your drawings for locations. I would think the mast butt is shaped round with 2 flat sides to meet the same shaped hole in the mast step like the Spindrift. If so, this is in the plans. Gravity holds the mast in. Because the sail is so small, also like the Spindrift you only need a hole through the top of the mast, and not a sheave for the halyard. I got fancy and lined the hole with flared copper plumbing pipe by epoxying in 2 short pieces, one from each side of the hole. Good luck. Quote
timbo2 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Grdat idea, Hirilonde. For some reason, I didn't think they provided that. I emailed Carla and they're working on a rigging plan and hardware kit. I'll probably go with that. Quote
