Hello!
New sailor and proud new owner of a 2004 C22 Wing Keel.
I was lucky enough to be the high bidder at a auction for my new C22. I have taken sailing lessons in SD Bay and have a decent grasp on the basics sailing, but as far as rigging goes.......not so much.
Since I bought it from an auction, I didn't have the previous owner around to give me any advice. I am doing a practice run setting it up at home. While I have done a fair amount of reading about how to set up the rigging, I am having some trouble.
When I try to tighten the fore and aft stays, I run out of adjustment length on the turnbuckles before it's tightened. I know I have a bit more room on the back stay quick release, but even at the tightest setting, I would still be a few inches short.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
