Hey everyone I'm having a middle-aged moment (just turned 40) rigging my boat. On an O'Day 23, how long is the piece of cable that connects the aft chainplate to the bottom of the triangle (the top of the triangle connects to the back stay turnbuckel, the third hole attaches to the main sheet)? Thanks, Stickman

Thanks, Gang!
I was convinced that I lost the proper cable because this one seemed "too long." The truth of the matter is that the forestay needs some adjustment (I think something let loose on the forestay turnbuckle inside the furler). Thanks, again for your help! Stickman

Oh Ho!...I learn sumthin everyday
I have an ODay 23 that came to me unrigged and so, being a natcherly sorta cunphused dryland sailor, I was wobbling around in a bit of doubt about that dangly triangle thingy in the rigging pile that I got in a box with the boat. So thanks gang (twice). Now I know what its for! Oh Ho! Me an Mortimer Snerd can go sailing....eventually...and Oh Yah..I have lurnt about doing a bottom job underneath a trailer in my bug-ridden back yard...wow, six days of elbow grease, sandpaper and three kinds of gooey paint stuff...backachey!..But oh my!..What beats the satisfaction of messing around in boats, Huh?
