Hello Tod, When you installed your new standing rigging what method did you use to fine tune it? I would like to hear from anyone about installing and adjusting standing rigging on a M17 from scratch. Regards, Jerry M17 333 Mystic
Yes, thank you, Werner!
Busca's slowly getting ready for the CBR:
New standing rigging, new smaller 5/16" mainsheet, freshly cleaned, etc...
Although the windvane is not ready to go (I am one SLOW dude), the new control-line adjustment is finished and will make the sheet-to-tiller much easier to set up and adjust, I believe.
I had found that one of the upper shrouds was kinked slightly at the masthead and that the masthead casting was wearing a slight groove in the terminal, so while installing the new rigging I ground the casting down slightly to eliminate the contact point (or at least spread it out and soften it up).
