Hi,

Can anyone help me with either diagrams or example pictures of rigging? I have a late reedcraft/early moores seahawk, and the rigging that was on the boat when I got it didn't. Look quite right. I am replacing bottlescrews with dyneema for the shrouds, but my forestay is all wrong. It's a halyard going to a fixing at the top of the pulpit, and a roller reefing drum going down to the forestay anchor point, and a bit of a mess of what looks like meccano holding it together.

Any suggestions or pictures would be reall useful. I am also wondering if I could replace all the shrouds and stays with dyneema and get rid of the steel wires altogether.

Oh yes, and I need to re-rivet the spreaders etc, cos they are all loose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Perry
