Need help for my Cygnus 20

[eddy62]

Just purchased a Cygnus 20. I have tried everywhere online and found very little on it except for a few pictures. I'm in need of the class rules and a rigging or owners manual. and info to make a new rudder.I have tried to contact owners in past posts who have this material ,with no success.

I found some old traffic on the Sailrite forums: http://forum.sailrite.com/topic182.html with the last post in that thread in 2012.
You might post there also in case one of those is still hanging around.

Hope this helps.

As I have stated already. I have searched the internet these sites haven't been much help.There were promises in the past of owners going to post what they had in info ,but no one ever followed thru with it.Its difficult because I live in an area where these boats dont exist. I can't go to look at and see how things go together.

Eddie,
Modern sloop sailboats are pretty much all the same in the way they are built and assembled. Might post to ask all sailors for help rigging the boat.
Good luck.

Rigging is not the problem. Its more of what gthe original rudder looks like and measurments.I could use a rudder similar to a Rhodes 19 ,as its almost the same displacement. I tend to be very big on restoring things to the way they were , so this project is important to me.Also need to know how the original boot stripe layed out .

Thanks Ed

Eddy62;

As a retired dealer, sometimes I was faced with repairs where I did not have the specific details and one of those was a rudder. I made one that worked fairly well with what knowledge I possessed and if you cannot find specs to the old rudder, may I suggest that you build one as close as possible and then go enjoy sailing my friend. If you are going to worry about being precise, that can be good but can also be bad and to worry over not having the specific details, I would say do your best and enjoy.
