A friend recently obtained a very clean 1968 V-21, with brand new sails and a sweet 4 stroke. Then he became very ill. He offered to me to use, as my own boat needs new sails. I took it home and cleaned the leaves and spider webs. An hour later, I was at the local pond stepping the mast and could not locate a back stay. The mast had no spreader(s), and only 2 shrouds per side. The mast appeared to be very sturdy, the rigging tight and no excessive rake in the profile. I have not seen any pics of a similar boat without a back stay, and on my C22, there are 3 shrouds per side and a spreader. The boat was super slippery, and handled like a very trimmed down version of my C22. Also, I could not figure the method of the traveler, as I have been very loyal to my 22, and am unfamiliar with the ways of the Scottish. I tried to find a rigging guide for the V21, but google seems to think I want to see every sailboat ever photographed, except the V21. What say you? Thanks, Greg
