[C38] One project down

Wed Jan 27 18:07:32 EST 2010

Hi guys, the end of the line at the reef point on the leach goes to an eye
on the reefing block on starboard. It goes under the boom from starboard to
port, up to the groomet, down to port to the reefing block and forward to
the winch or cleat.

On the tack, there is a padeye on port were the reefing line is attache, it
goes up to the groomet and down on starboard to a cleat.
The original Schaefer gooseneck (in mine and some other C38) hook is very
small, usefull only if you have a webbing on the groomet with a ring on each
side.

I know that this an original set up because I have a diagram somewhere for
the running rigging on a C38, but as I said there is another gooseneck
configuration on earlier models, and I'm not sure about the later models.
Estancia is 1982
Hope this helps.

 Max
