I was PM'd a request for the dimension of the 19's bowsprit. I don't use any "cloud" and couldn't find a way to post in a PM, so I'll post it here. All dimensions are approximate as they were measured with a tape. Each square represents 1". If anyone wants to add dimensions, please do so.

@crazycarl,

I'm hoping to finally get to this project in the upcoming weeks we'll see it's been on my "list" since I got the boat along with the slowly progressing foiled rudder build...but I digress.

If you are looking at your bowsprit from the side, is the bend just forward of the toe rail bolts perpendicular to the edge of the bar (simple bend), or is the bottom of the bend aft of the top, thus being a more complicated bend, but possible leveling the bowsprit some? I hope that question makes sense...

Also any chance you can attach a photo of your bobstay?

Thanks,

Keith

Yes, the bolts are aft of the bend and the bend is a simple one. The screw you see in the picture forward of the bend holds the teak in.

The bobstay attaches to a tang behind the bow ring. The water is too low for me to get a good picture. (i'LL probably fall of the dock or drop my phone)
