Pop-top rigging photos for those interested . .

Hello all! I've uploaded some photos of our '72 Cal 27 pop-top rigging for newcalowner (Paul Pierre Clements), and anyone else interested. They are in the FILES section in the Cal 27 pop-top 1972 folder. I didn't rig the mainsail due to the over-abundance of May Flys (fish flys). I hope to rig the mainsail before departing on another boat for the Huron Doublehanded Challenge next weekend. I hope the photos show the main and traveler well enough.. Dave Leasia s/v Candy Cane '72 Cal 27 Pop-top #145 Grosse Pointe Farms, MI

Hey Dave... GREAT Pics.. thank you!!! I am in the process of restoring a 73 Cal27 PT and they were very helpful. The boat was rigged for racing and it was awesome to see what I am assuming is the original setup. The traveller on #13 is set up right at the forward edge of the cockpit. As soon as we get the running rigging dialed in I too will post some photos. Thanks again, Susan --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "Dave Leasia" <telephone_dr@...> wrote: > > Hello all! > > I've uploaded some photos of our '72 Cal 27 pop-top rigging for > newcalowner (Paul Pierre Clements), and anyone else interested.

Susan, Actually, Candy Cane WAS rigged to race, and the PO raced it MORC on Lakes Erie and St. Clair.He included all the bells and whistles- Spinnaker, hatch canvas, sun shield, cushions, 3 head sails, topping lift, vang (4:1), and backstay adjuster. It came equipped with a Vire 6hp inboard. I took off the spinnaker hardware when the halyard shredded 4 years ago. I am re-rigging it again, and I'll have more photos soon... Dave PS I'll be waiting for those photos! --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "Susan Ingram" <susaningram@...> wrote: > > Hey Dave... GREAT Pics.. thank you!!!
