Jeff,

There is a file in the "files" section of the page.? It contains an item called "information.htm" which I copied from an older T27 website.?
What is good about it is that it has all the specific sizes for the running and standing rigging (among other items of interest).

In this case the thickness of the wire determines if it is a forestay/backstay or inner/outer shroud.? The back stay and forestay are the same thickness (3/16") but the back stay will be longer than the forestay.? There are only the upper and lower shroud and these should be obvious by their diameter and length.? Worthy of note is that often the upper shroud is put on the slightly more inboard chain plate and the lower shroud is on the slightly more outboard chainplate.? I believe this is how it was designed, but it will work if you reverse them.? You will just have to tighten the rig until it is comfortable.? Good luck figuring out the rest of the hardware.??

It may also be worth your while to replace the turnbuckles (if they show any signs of age).? This can be expensive but losing the rig on a sailboat could be even more expensive.

Good luck.

Subject: [T27Owners] Standing Rigging

? Hi All,

I'm trying to make sense of the rigging that came with my boat and was hoping someone could shed light on it.? This boat came with lots of extra parts that aren't necessarily from T27...

Are there any diagrams that show how the rigging is attached to the top of the mast?

I have 6 cables (which is a good start)?

I'm assuming all the threaded ends go into the turnbuckles, which i have 6 (pic3), and they attach on the deck and the shackle ends attach at the mast head?and mast?sheaves thru bolt (pic4).

pic 1 and 2 have different "boots" on both ends, guessing these are fore and aft stays?? and the rest are the shrouds.

I have this masthead?(pic 5) , where does the rigging attach?

Finally I removed the mast sheaves, seems like these can just be cleaned up and put back in.

Thanks in advance for any help, 9yrs of slow work and hoping to maybe splash her by summer's end...

Cheers,

Jeff
