1977 cp 16 rigging

How does the gooseneck fasten to the mast,  other boats had a snap in lock type. 
Plywood bunks have any structural properties..

roamy,

Barring any previous owner changes, the gooseneck from that time period was a Dwyer Mast part (DH 4151), which slides into the 1/2" groove in the mast.  It will slide down to the downhaul cleat until the halyard pulls the entire sail up  (I'll see if I have a photo).  The boom should have a casting that has a pin that will hold the clew and allows the roller furling mechanism to work (spring is inside the boom body).  Salty19 has a recent photo of his vang that shows the set-up in another thread.


The bunks are supported by the outside hull and plywood frame that runs along the edge near the keel.  Directly underneath the plywood is foam. 


If you do a search for Jordan's restoration, you'll see what a gutted CP-16 looks like.  I think he used 5/8" plywood to rebuild the bunks from scratch.  The full restoration that the above photo was taken from is here: http://s779.photobucket.com/albums/yy72/tmdrozd/Com%20Pac%20restoration/
