Standing Rigging Report

Michael D2006-10-05 13:29 UTC
Hello Listees, The rigger was out to Magic two weekends ago to take measurements of the standing rigging. He returned a week later with an armfull of shiney SS cable, new turnbuckles, etc. all ready to install. After replacing the backstay, I inspected the old one and found serious corrosion/cracks on the masthead swage eye. The installation went smooth, and now I feel vindicated for spending the money! Next will be removal of the chainplates for inspection. Should I find problems, does anyone on the list have CAD or mechanical drawings that I could use for fabricating new ones? Once again, thank you for your suggestions, comments, and experience. Michael Duvall s/v Magic, Cal 2-27 Pompano Beach, FL
