standing rigging

Am currently pulling the chainplates off my boat(tall rig, engine in the back). Found some pit corrosion in all of them, and one of them had a crack (near a welding point). I'm waiting for replacements at the moment. I was wondering if anyone here has had trouble with the glassed SS anchors that...

I bought a 1995 43 Legend, and I´m struggling with the decision of what to replace, and how far to go? Absolutely, I´m on a budget, so it has to be money wise. If there is someone who can help me, I have plenty of photos.

I've been sailing (but mostly updating) my O'day 22 over the past 7 years. I haven't had it in the water for a few years (we have young kids, and the summers just became too busy to work on the boat). In preparation for this season, I raised the mast yesterday and discovered that my upper stays...

Hi SBO friends, Some of you may recall my going on 8 year quest to find a rigging professional in the LA / San Pedro/ Long Beach area. My quest continues. I am sitting outside a well known local boat yard in Long Beach presently. I just captained the boat over this morning to have it hauled...

We have four of these badly corrupted beauties on our boat, two on the pulpit and two on the pushpit, two which the lifelines attach. They do not have any sort of set pin or screw in them. Do you have any idea how they are affixed or how they were adhered? Are replacements available for a 1"...

Does the lower diamond d1 cross in front or behind the lower D? Thanks! Ralph Sperry Boston Gypsy Soul Hunter 460

Dear Sailor Friends and Hunter Legend Owners. Recently I had a rig inspection on my newly bought Hunter Legend 290. During the inspection it was discovered that my port side chain plate has shorter bolts (please see the picture) which don't go fully through the nut as they do on the starboard...

Good day, I have an '84 Hunter 31'. I believe the standing rigging is original and I would like to replace it. Does anyone know of any good companies in Canada I can contact to get some quotes? My boat has the Seldin rig. Also of note is that this boat has been exclusively sailed in the...

so there was a rusting weep hole at the bottom of my starboard upper shroud chain plate that was glassed in and original from 1965, so I chopped it out, polished it up the plate looks great, there was a little moisture in the wood knee, but not a lot, the teak was in pretty good shape, the only...

Ahoy! Novice sailor that has recently purchased a 2007 W.D. Schock Harbor 14 seeking others within the sailing community that can give opinion/advise regarding this little boat. I am especially wondering how tight the standing rigging should be (i.e. furler stay (forestay) and shrouds).

I am replacing the standing rigging on my C27 Surprise and while the mast is down, I have pulled the chainplates to inspect. My lower shroud "chainplates" are 1/2" eyebolts, similar to those offered now by Catalina Direct. These are 1/2" bolts with large backing plates, and therefore are more...

Hello friends! I've been sailing my whole life but just purchased my first cruising sailboat, a 1991 Cat30 mkii tall rig! I will be using this for freshwater lake cruising with my family of 4. Having just transported it from out of state to my local lake in GA, I wanted to take care of some...

PROBLEM: 1979 Paceship 23. Irreparably bent mast during haul out. Bought a new-to-me [used] mast. New mast is shorter. Have practically new standing rigging which I want to re-use. Side stays will transfer, but need to shorten fore and back stays. Old Mast: 27' 6" New Mast: 27' 1" QUESTION...

Appologies for the total newbie question, but the standing rigging on our 1976 Catalina 22 has me scratching my head. I've scoured the C22 Technical Manual (and updates), as well as awesome blogs like the Catalina 22 Experiment, Chip Ford, and Christopher Jin. Unfortunately, I can't find a...

Does anyone know how we can get a set of standing rigging for a Hunter Legend 430? The boat's in Greece and we need to get rigging made without removing the current rigging.
