Re: Help needed to understand gin/raising pole
I have the same setup but use pelican clips for the gib pole lines for consistency and to save…. ?… 20 seconds ?

Re: Help needed to understand gin/raising pole
Oh, right, the gin pole stays will keep the rings in the right place even when the mast is low!

Re: Help needed to understand gin/raising pole
Here are some pics of my F25c #9 with carbon mast which I sold a few years ago.
And for some inspiration :), here's a drone video of her finally sailing after lots of repair work!??
My gin pole had a pin that slotted into a hole in the mast and had fin-like pieces on each side to help it from twisting. These boats almost all had a custom mast raising solution because the ones from the kit were terrible.? You can see the Ginpole?laying on the ground here.
This is my first attempt with mast?raising after buying.? Not recommended to use tiedown?straps but you get the idea on the general setup
Aluminum bars to keep mast from turning
Working with rigging company to setup?Dyneema raising lines
OK, James, I'll go look for those photos!? Nick, you described what I was thinking, bolting plates though the mast's tab that grab & align with base.

Help needed to understand gin/raising pole
      Hi. I’m working on the restoration of 25C #15. Her mast hasn’t been up in 21 years! ?I only assume the gin pole that was inside the boat has been used before, but I can’t figure out how to make it work. Does anyone else have gear that looks the same??
Today I made the pole’s guy wires, running to triangulated floating rings per StephenB’s notes. But there’s no way to get everything attached by one person. I think the gin pole should notch in somehow between the mast and the mast foot part. This pole has a shaped wood insert bolted into the end, perhaps for compression strength. Do I need to devise a way to lock the mast rotation and mast foot together during raise/lower? Or is it better that the mast can still rotate during the operation??
can you see enough from these photos, or anyone available for a video call to direct me on this??
stumped!?
ps, I’ll post up the carbon chainplates retrofit video tonight. That project came out great. Just need a mast in the sky now…
thanks?

I would contact Colligo as the forestay can be lengthened/shortened with their chain plate distributors.? With this all you need is a rough measurement of your present forestay or measurement from another F25C. This approach also allows you to adjust the mast rake.??
Thank you and wishing you well,?

Honestly, it might be worth the trouble of putting the mast up to check how it all goes together. ?That way you can provide your rigger with accurate info and pics so they can design something that will work the first time out.?
I’d be happy to take measurements off my boat that’s in the garage awaiting a refit but I haven’t set it up ever so I don’t know how it goes together either. Also, it’s stainless wire rigging, probably stock, whatever that is, whatever got installed by whoever the first owner was.?

Synthetic rigging is normally terminated at the lower end with lashings so you should easily be able to accommodate something a bit short, but not a bit long, so err on the short side!
