Looking to revamp some rigging - Hunter 22 '83 halyard sheet

[HiZ]

Looking to replace the rigging on the boat while the mast is down

Any input on this?

Length, size, upgrades, etc.

I am looking at jamestown and found some:

Anyone have luck or not with this, what diameter?

What about the sheets/

Thank you all :dance:

Seco South may have the specs and the best prices around.

You can send them your old stuff and they can remake it. I would mark each piece of rigging so you can match them up when the new stuff comes back.

HiZ,
Recommendations would depend upon what rigging conditions you are starting with, your budget, and your skill level.

I have been working on my salvage 1981 H22 for the a number of years and replaced all running rigging and some of the standing rigging. Unless you want to change out the halyard sheeves to accomodate wire line for less stretch, double braid is my choice. I do all of my own splicing, including mooring pendants, dock lines and halyards (saves a bit on the expenses).

I spliced my own halyards from 3/8" Samson Trophy double braid...it has good hand with not TOO much stretch (I don't race). I did not want to spend the extra for "Spectra" or some other 'super whamadine' near zero stretch line.

Thus given:
Mast ht is 26 ft
Forestay is ~29 ft
Mains'l luff is ~24 ft
Boom length is ~10 ft (covers from mast foot sheeves, to deck organizers, to clutch, around winch, and workable tail)

Yields:
Main halyard of 24'+26'+10' = ~60'+or -
Jib halyard of 29'+26'+10' = ~65'+or -

There are many line, shackle and sheeve options out there.
Please also consider the following for premade halyards and bulk line:
Defender Industries, Inc.,
42 Great Neck Road,
Waterford, CT 06385

Phone: 800-628-8225

Main and Jib sheets...same 3/8" Samson Trophy double braid.
Main sheet length depends upon your fiddle block arrangement (purchase amount).
Jib sheet line length is ~ 8'beam+2'aft of the mast+20'mast thru deck block, cheek block, around winch, back to cleat or cam cleat +workable tail...yeilds ~60 ft total for both jib sheets.

Standing rigging...you MUST send that off to a rigger's loft as they have all the proper swaging tools to ensure a quality crimp. Measure eye-to-eye/toggle, diameter, and label all that are sent off for your own records.

This is what I have from my documents

Hunter 22

Standing Rigging
Headstay 5/23" 1x19 28' 1 1/4"
Backstay 5/32" 1x19 29' 11"
Upper Shrouds 5/32 1x19 26" 9 1/4"
Lower Shrouds 5/32 1x19 14'

Running Rigging
Main Halyard 3/8" 61'
Jib Halyard 3/8" 61'
Main Sheet 3/8" 50'
Jib Sheet 3/8" 70'
Vang 3/8" 25'
Downhaul 3/8" 5'
2x Jiffy Reef* 1/4" 18'
Topping lift tail** 1/4" 6'

* for Jiffy reefing, I have one line that attaches to the boom, through the reefing clew, to a cheek block on the other side of the boom, then to the end of the boom through the boom to the mast, and exits.
**for the topping lifti use about 20' of 1/4" that is run through the boom back towards the mast, to a block at the base of the mast, and back to a cleat.

I have drawings of both of these, as well as the rigging in the boom, but it will take a bit for me to dig it out of my archives.

and i second the Seco South in Tampa, but maybe cause i live here.

Our Rigging Calculator automatically calculates length and diameter, our Rigging Builder allows you to specify what you want:

We can offer standing rigging duplication at good prices too, just need you to coil the wire up and send it in.

I'm surprised that you don't have a sailboat dealer near you that offers rigging work, etc. If you are going to replace halyards or sheets, then use your old sheets and buy new that are exactly the same length and diameter unless you are making modifications where you need them longer or something. Pick out different colors for less confusion. If you are replacing shrouds, then bring in your old ones and they should be able to make up new ones the exact same length and you will be good to go, unless they have stretched and they are too long so you have no more adjustment in the turnbuckle. Then an inch and a half shortening usually takes care of that. This is the sort of service that our store does for our local customers.

FYI;

Steve Dion mentioned Seco South and Dave Greshong with this store's site has chimed in as well.

Hunter Marine years ago for a long time use t buy the masts and booms but it was Seco South that produced the stays and rigging. You can call them located in the Tampa, FL area and ask for Jean. She is wonderful to work with.

The Sailboats Owners store site now sells parts for Hunter and can take care of the rigging as well. Hunter no longer sells direct to customers and requested this site to take over, so they have the measurements and the folks who sell know their stuff and Dave Greshong and Phil Herring I will recommend as well.

Both are very good to work with and pricing is that with all others but the quality of workmanship is very high for the two I mentioned.
