Hello, does anyone have the forestry length of an O'Day 222, I'm looking to purchase a curler on Craigslist that's 25'9 and want to make sure it's not too short (my boat is put to bed)?
B'Day 222 Forestay length
- Thread starter kdmjme
- Start date
By formula from the rig dimensions it should be 24.10ft. "A" squared plus "B" squared equals "C" squared. "I"=22.8ft, "J"=7.8ft
You actually want the furler extrusion to be shorter than the forestay, as long as the extrusion is longer than the jib luff. You will potentially need to be able to slide the furler up the forestay to access the forestay turnbuckle for adjustment. That extrusion (whether plastic or metal) can usually be shortened to fit, but if plastic... can not be made longer. The metal (usually aluminum) extrusions come in about 4' lengths, so you might be able to purchase an additional piece from the manufacturer if the used furler was too short.
Do you have the DWYER mast or the Z-SPAR mast? I have the standing rigging specs for the Z-SPAR mast (Thanks Joe!, late, great owner of TRINKA)
