Title: Standing Rigging Question for CP16-1
Post by: MKBLK on August 26, 2016, 05:29:02 PM
I'd appreciate it if someone would post pictures of how their headstay AND jibstay are secured to the bow of a CP16-1.

Thanks,

Marty K.

Marty,

First off, sorry to hear about your demasting situation.  Glad you were not hurt!

I don't have pictures, but there should be two chainplates on the bow.  The way I had my 16 rigged before a made a DIY furler was the forestay pinned to the front/forward chainplate and the jib had a bronze spring hook tied to the tack and clipped onto a shackle that was pinned through the aft chainplate.  I"m pretty sure that is the factory configuration, or thereabouts.
