I posted new album with all my rigging up along with the sails if anyone cares to take a gander. My j-22 backup main is in there too.
Glad I put my new main up. I found that it was cut to long. I had to drop the boom down about 6" which surely eliminated any hope of getting a Bimini under it. I don't really think I could have gotten a Bimini under anyways. The original was only 4 feet long and was all they to the back of the cockpit. I think previous owner put one up the only way he could. Earlier in the summer I had also found that the main sail foot was cut to long so I built 11' boom (original is 9') out of an old hobie 14 mast I had laying around. If you look real close you'll see the hobie mast head that is now used for the out haulAnyhow, that eliminates any hope of putting short bimini in the back. I'll just have to where a big hat. On the bright side, I have more sail area
