Hello all,
I am looking for pictures or diagrams of how the standard mast for a C27 is supposed to have the running rigging laid on the boat. I have recently came to own one. The 2 previous owners had very different designs and plans for use of the boat.
One owner had a dogger and the next removed it. The are no clutches installed, but I can see where they were supposed to be. I also see the redirect blocks from the mast to the cockpit. There are added winches on deck, coach house roof, and mast.
None of the reefing lines are currently running correctly (not into the sail at least), so this is a jumble. There appears to be 2 topping lifts (not just the wire from the backstay) to the boom, maybe the remanent of a lazy jack set up. I do have 5 halyards. Nothing for tensioning the clue on the mainsail. No boom vang. The Traveller has been relocated, and mainsheet is run in a non convensional manner it appears (through at least 3 blocks).
I am looking for a starting point or a baseline to try and understand all of the lines and why things do not look right. Any help is appreciated.
