Re: Installing a new mast without measurements
Posted: Sat May 18, 2019 7:56 pm
Finally got my wife to help me do exact measurements on the lines that come with the boat. Unfortunately, most of them don't match what the boat is "supposed* to have, which standard measurements are posted here: https://daysailer.org/Rigging-Measurements
My measurements:
38' feet with shackle and a block along the rope
2x 49' feet with shackles
29' feet of smoother with a closed loop on the end
36' feet with nothing special on the end
41'8" feet of
45' feet of slightly thicker rope than others
Nothing seems to match, as the closest in length to the halyard (the 29' rope) has a closed loop on the end instead of a shackle. The only thing that seems like it might match is the 45' for the main sheet. Then there's nothing remotely resembling an outhaul. Luckily, the jib sheets are still attached to the jib sail.
Why would he have all these long ropes in the kit? (38', 41', 49')
I'm thinking I should just find a Daysailer owner from the local sailing club and get him to look over my boat in-person.
