Is your inspector doing the Twang (like a guitar string) test? Joe "Joe" wrote in oglegroups.com... A new way for yankees to test the rigging set maybe.... Is the forward stay to loose? Or is it that the back stays are to loose? Looks as well rigged as Nellens boat.http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/171500...1715401_geneva _ap.jpg Joe- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - |

Or is it that the back stays are to loose? http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/171500..._geneva_ap.jpg Rig tension looks about right to me - very loose when the boat is not actually under way. Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you need to? A few dinghies sail with a moderately slack rig. Snipes brought it to an art form back in the Seventies. When sailing to weather on starboard tack, the port shroud would have nearly a foot of freeplay. And we'd tighten our jib luff wires to the point that about 75% of the tension was on the luff wire and only about 25% on the stay. BTW, it looks like a 505, which doesn't have a backstay, let alone two. Is there any boat that has back *stays*, i.e. more than one? Some big boats have runners, and I believe there was a Hunter or something that had twin backstays, for whatever reason I haven't the slightest. Max |

"Maxprop" wrote Nearly perfect, actually. Yes, nearly perfect for a runway model. Not much use around a boat other than as deck garnish. Think she can pull an anchor? Not. Cheers, Ellen |
