[C38] Halyards

[George B. Suppes, III]

I would also suggest considering having a halyard that is long enough to
reach down to the water with enough on the tail to put on the winch.  I made
my spinnaker halyard this way since it is most likely not going to be in use
most of the time.  The reason being so that if I, or someone else fell
overboard, the halyard snap shackle could be clipped to a harness, and the
person in the water could be brought back on board.  If a person overboard
got hurt, or whatever, they might not have the strength they usually do, and
the person left on deck, might not be strong to pull them up.  Just a
thought.

didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover."

David,
 
On the website the drawing with standing rigging lengths also has the
lengths of the the running rigging for the main and jib it has 110',
realizing the mast at deck is about 50' that leaves 10 to get you to the
cockpit if youre rigged that way.   I usually buy 115 and trim it down from
there depending where I have it led.

Hello!

Happy to New Year everyone!

Sadly, INTEMPERANCE is spending this Winter on the hard and not in the
Caribbean, but it'll give me a chance to give her a good going over so
she's mighty fine when we splash this Spring.

On the to-do list: Halyards

When I dropped the jib I saw that that one is completely frayed. The main
doesn't look too swell either. Time to make everything pretty and strong
again.

What are you all running? Any other tips? Any one have measurements?

Thanks!
