[C38] Testing my Email

[Steve Smolinske]

If youre doing rig work when you have or tune the mast make sure to check the drawings on the site for the correct orientation of the spreaders to the mast, most yards like to have the spreaders horizontal, they should have a slight upwards orientation. The correct dimensions can be pulled off the drawings.

The standard issues of standing rigging and mast work.  One area to note is the spreaders, the attachment, the ends and also check the bottoms of the spreader bars.  About 5 or 6 years ago we had the mast pulled to repaint and the upper spreaders had corroded so badly on the bottoms that they could not be reinstalled.  We had them replaced then and we redid all of JACE's standing rigging at that time with 5/16 and norseman fittings.

On redoing the rigging... As you take each piece loose from the boat, put tape on it and write which point it attached to.  Very important, especially if you are going to cut new pieces to fit, they need to match.  This also makes reinstallation easier.
