    30-2 rusted tie-rod joint

    I’m worried about the rig integrity of my newly acquired ‘89 Hunter 30-2. There is a badly rusted nut where the shroud tie-rod is threaded into the fitting that’s hidden in the hull (see photo). That fitting is inaccessible. Does anyone know how this fitting is attached to the hull and how it...

    Hunter 376 cracks around chain plates?

    Hello forum! I'm new with Hunter and was looking to buy a used 376 from 1997. As I was inspecting the boat, I found some thin cracks on the deck, forward from the chain plates. To my knowledge the boat hasn't been abused. Is this something to be worried about or just superficial and "easy fix"...

    Spreader End Cap

    How to rig Rhodes 19 Spinnaker

    Bought a 1974 Rhodes 19 with a pole/kite. Have used a kite on a 420 with no pole, but can someone provide a detailed step by step process on how to rig/control a kite on a Rhodes 19? Can’t find anything online. Appreciated.

    Mast head rigging for symmetrical kite/spinnakeron a 26S

    The fractional rig spinnaker on the 26S is too small (in my opinion) to make the whole exercise sufficiently exhilerating. I have tried adding a bail and block at the point above the hounds where the holes have been drilled to support the mast for trailering. This worked to the degree that a...

    Rig Tension for 1979 Hunter 37C

    I just bought a 1979 Hunter 37' Cutter. However, it is rigged as a sloop right now. I am going to buy the Loos rig tension gauge. It was hauled and the bottom painted and as of now all the rigging is loose. What should the tension be on each of the shrouds and stays when I go to tune the...
