Macgregor 25 forestay

[Chuck Powell]

What is the length of the forestay required for a CDI FF2 furler on a 1982 mac 25

I wish I could answer that. It would mean I own one.
Post it when you find out please.

Approximately 26.83 ft, based on sqrt(I^2+J^2)
Note the Venture 25 had a masthead rig, and so would be longer.

The first version was called the VENTURE 25. With relatively few changes, it became the MACGREGOR 25 (around 1980). With more than 7000 boats sold, it’s one of the most popular models from this builder. Masthead Rig: I: 28.3′ J: 9.75′ P: 24.5′ E: 10.5′ Photo of Venture 25 courtesy Adam Hunt.

Awesome!

Don't give any published numbers to a rigger. They're almost always different. The best thing to do is measure what you have now and give them that as a basis to work off of. You'll find variations from boat to boat of the same model

My 77 V25 was not a mast head rig.

Interesting. The notes on SailboatData for the MacGregor 25 says the Venture 25 was a masthead rig, but their page on the Venture 25 says it was fractional.
