Running rigging diagram for bay cruiser 26
DJK:
Looking for drawing or diagram for running rigging for bay cruiser 26
Nick Orchard:
Hi - I haven't seen a published BC26 running rigging diagram, apart from the inside of the boom, although I presume that Matt has something. I think most of it is fairly straightforward, but is there something specific that you need help with?
DJK:
Hi Nick thanks for reply just put up mast and boom and had a chat with Matt which explained most things have yet too connect reefing lines. Perplexed as too what a white Velcro ring around the boom, near main clew is for. Have not found a cicking strap yet so more fun to come.
Sea Simon:
Velcro strap is a main clew hold down. It's intended to allow the main clew to slide lengthways along the boom, as Sail is flattened by outhaul or reefs. While keeping clew snug to the boom.
Common nowadays on many boats from Lasers upwards.
My BC 26 has one.
It needs to be snug, but not too tight...rig around boom, thru clew ring.
You will need a kicker, and a cunningham too.
My kicker now at 12.1, so as to allow one handed operation, no winching.
Not sure about outhaul purchases, but mine needs a winch in heavy winds
Dig about on here for photos of other boats setups?
BTW...welcome!
Which BC 26 are we talking about? New? Used?
Nick Orchard:
Hi DJK - I'll PM you regarding some pdf's that I've got that may help.
