Lengh rigging


 

Hi,

I'm the new owner of F 25C number 29 in France. I Have to change the rigging for synthetic.
For the moment, he boat in a shed and I never put the mast on
I have a doubt about forestay length. the old one is in stainless steel and I don't know how it was attached to chainplate.
So It's difficult for me to give a length to my rigging maker.
Someone know the length of the forestay between shackle on the mast and a lashing before chainplate>
I hope my English is understanding.

Thanks.


 

Given that it was a kit boat there is some possibility that some F-25Cs have subtle differences in their rigging, so it would be ideal if you could use your existing rigging as a reference.

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!

Here’s what’s on mine…

Forestay: 375” [5mm?Dyform?Stainless Steel]

Shrouds: 381”?(31’ 9” eye to eye ) [7mm?Dynex?Dux?or STS-HSR?or equivalent]

But, Mark, – and I mention this for arteckraf’s [the OP] consideration – doesn’t this speak to Garry’s point, that, given the individual nature of many F-25c’s, specific measurements for each individual boat are probably a better way to go when ordering standing rigging than making one’s rigging to measurements from other peoples' boats, particularly given that your forestay is attached forward of the stock chainplate?

Cheers,

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.?

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,?
