Topic: Rigging size
I would follow the surveyor's advice with one exception. 1/4" for the forestay.
Re: Rigging size
I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't save the discussion thread anywhere. The boat on which I am about to make an offer has all new standing rigging, with the following sizes:
Headstay, unknown, believed to be 3/16
Backstay, split with bridal, 3/16 upper strand to two 5/32 ower
Upper shroud, single 3/16
Lower shrouds, double 3/16
A November, 2004 survey on the boat, done prior to replacement of the rigging, recommended increasing size on all to 7/32, if any offshore cruising is anticipated. It is.
My question, obviously, is what do you think of the sizing of the rigging?
