If the rigging is too long, I would strongly suspect that it wasn't always that way... is a chainplate pulling out, or is the cabin top/compression post damaged? Or was the bottom of the mast damaged and cut shorter? It might be dangerous to shorten the rig without first figuring out why it's too long as the problem could keep progressing. On the C22, sometimes the bottom of the mast gets damaged, and they sell this kit to raise up the mast step 1", to compensate for cutting 1" off: https://www.catalinadirect.com/index.cfm/product/1711_28/mast-step-shim-kit-... Another idea would be to cut one end of the shrouds shorter, and install Hayn Hi-MOD Fittings. I made the whole rig for my M15 with those, and really like them. They're reusable, and can be installed with simple hand tools.

My boat did not come with a bow pulpit. Is there any resource for getting one made or used. New member here from Point Roberts, WA / Vancouver, BC, I just bought a 1980 Montgomery 17. I have a curious issue, my standing rigging is too long despite tightening the turnbuckles to the shortest length. I am planning on buying new stays from Dwyer (who apparently makes the Montgomery rig) Are the rig specs posted anywhere? The person who I talked to at Dwyer couldn't find them for the 17.
