Tuning a 1969 Bristol Rig

[bristol33]

I have an old boat w/out an owners manual or much info, and there were only about 40 some made of my exact boat. Most are located on the east coast, opposite of mine. I was curious how to find specs to tune my rig? Any suggestions. My first boat, I have never done it before. Right now the standing rigging is very loose.

Hello,Start with getting a grasp of tuning principles. You might find my tuning video useful, also Selden's free tuning guide, and there are some good books on the subjuct. Tuning can make a dramatic difference in how your boat behaves, improving performance as well as comfort, safety, and rig longevity. Go for it. After you get sufficiently over your head, contact me for some follow-up.Fair leads,Brion Toss
