Hi Guys,
I know this will seem really simple, but I cannot figure out how to rig the jib on my DS1. I've finally got everything else ship shape, but the jib is baffling me. I pulled it out of the bag (there's two - a regular and an oversized) and along with it came a lot of rope and some pulleys. I have no idea what to do with this - yea, I'm a novice. Can anyone help me or point me in the direction of a site that perhaps has pictures?
The main goes up easily and makes perfect sense, I've polished all the oxidization off the hull and it shines baby blue. The flooring looks great and I've given the cowling a coat of varnish. Painted the floor with high grade exterior paint. I do have one other question:
the mast has a step in it. The piece that stays erect from the top of the cuddy to the floor is not fastened to the floor - it just rides on top of that cast shoe that's screwed to the floor. Shouldn't the mast be fastened to that casting? When I lower the mast, sometimes it pulls the short piece up out of its hole - and let me tell you, it is soooo annoying, since I'm doing this all solo.
Thanks for the help! Once I take it out - maybe next week - I'll try to snap a few shots and post.
