Subject: 22 Foot Catboat Main Sheet Rigging |
| Hi there , does anyone have a reference to the methods of rigging a 22 foot traditional ( 2.5 tonnes ) catboat mainsheet ? I have the gaff rig handbook and the suggestion is less than helpful. I have ordered "howo to sail a catboat" and maybe there will be something in there.
Cheers

| I have 74' Herreshoff America Catboat.I have to replace the centerboard. There are designs online of the centerboard. The computer I have them on is broken. Does anyone have the measurements for the centerboard? I need the measurements to have a new one fabricated. Any help will be great. Kevin |

Subject: Redesigning Sandpiper Coaming |
| The aft sections of the oak port and starboard coamings on my Marshall Sandpiper have rotted, and need to be replaced. if I go to the trouble of replacing them, I'll need to remove the stern coaming as part of the job. I've noticed the stern coaming is set at near vertical. But when you lean back against it your back isn't vertical, it's pitched at about 65-75 degrees. Is there any reason I shouldn't remake the coaming at a sharper angle for comfort? |
