New owner of a weathered 1988 33.5. Bringing her back. Most of her running rigging was pulled off. The halyard and sheet labels are weathered to the point I can’t read most of them. Wondering if anyone can provide me the rigging order from port to starboard?
Also, perhaps a dumb question, but the one label I CAN read is “pole lift”. Google search didn’t bring this up and haven’t seen anything in the online manuals. Is this a dedicated line for lifting someone up the mast? That would be a fun way to re-install lines. Time to get out my rock-climbing harness?
Thanks, Dan

Is the mast up? If it is and you don't have running rigging don't put away that climbing harness.
I don't know what rigging order port to starboard means. You basically have halyards and sheets. Halyards run up and down the mast. Traditionally main halyard on Starboard side and Jib Halyard on port. Sheets from blocks to sails or boom. After that there is a lot of variation even from one boat to another of the same boat.

Thanks for the quick And helpful response. I was guessing the “pole lift” could serve double duty. And yes, the mast is up but some of the halyards are down. Bring on the climbing harness, I guess. Better and way more fun then pulling down the mast.
A little clarity on the other question. The line-clutches on the boat are all labeled but the labels are mostly unreadable. Was thinking that Hunter had them laid out in a specific order for a reason and wanted to stick with that order, if possible. Was wondering if there was anyone who had this vintage and model to help me with that order, from port to starboard. Again, thanks. Dan
