I brought my boat home for the first time, put the mast up, hung the boom and raised the sails while still on the trailer. Didn't have a clue. There was no wind at the time or I would have been sailing on dry land.
I'm just saying.

Figuring things out

Part of the purchase was a quick sailing lesson. While we switched trailers I got about 45 minutes of instruction.

By reading the owners manaul some things were figured out. Like how to remove the winch handle. The plywood there needs replacing.


Now a question. The winch wire for the rudder goes through a rubber hose as it comes off the spool. What kind of material is inside the rubber hose?

Do you have a better photo of the rigging for raising the mast? Mine came with a mickey moused "A" frame that uses the winch on the trailer.

I recently purchased a Balboa 22 that I am re-finishing. My boat did not come with an owners manual. Is it possible for you to copy yours and send me a copy, or maybe it could be scanned and emailed to me. Thanks, and I will cover any costs that you incur.
