Rig dimensions

I have seen several questions as to the rig dimensions of various boats.There is a sailmaker that has a rig dimension finder on his site.LEECH & RUDIGER Sails in San Francisco.Their Home Page is;http://www.sfsailing.com/leech_rudiger/index.htmlTheir rig dimension page is; http://www.sfsailing.com/leech_rudiger/boats.html

Go to Unofficial C27 website.....

....at http://www.geocities.com/catalina+27/ There is lots of cool stuff at this site. You can really learn alot about our great boat.... now... go to "C27 miscellaneous", then go to "rig specifications"... the forestay length for C27 standard rig is listed as 34'11.5". However, most riggers, including Catalina factory, suggest a physical measurement if you are replacing the item. Or better yet, remove the forestay, take it to a rigging shop and have them duplicate the piece. Why? Because if it doesn't fit you don't get your money back! Have a ball.
