I have trouble to set-up all sheet, specialy the boomvang on my new 272. Does someone send me a draft, or a email, or a picture of the base of his mast? Sylvain.boudreault@tembec.com FAX 18193332165 Thank a lot

Sylvain, are there other 272's on Lake Abitibi?

I own a 272 which included an owners manual when I purchased it. There are pix showing the rigging, including the mainsheet tackle and the boom vang. I have made modifications to lead the sheets and lines back to the cockpit, but the attachment point for the boom vang is still on a shackle at the base of the mast. The original vang had a self-contained cam cleat to secure or release the vang. The main sheet is lead through a swivel block behind the mast after it is attached at two points on the underside of the boom. It is then lead to the starboard side of the cabintop through a line organizer back through a line clutch to a winch. If noone else sends you pix to help you figure out how to set up the lines, let me know and I will fax you the pages you need from the manual. That will be next week when I get back to my job where we have a fax. Meanwhile, if you have further questions, or just want to gab about the 272, you can e-mail me at tomclaud@wcnet.org. Tom

Thanks

Thanks a lot Tom, it would be great if I had that manual. Actually, we are the only 272 on the lake. There is only 15 boat on that lake. I will email you this week ASAP after receiving your fax to confirm the sending. Thanks a lot and a great sailing season. ps (it 0 Celcius today in La Sarre, Québec...)
