Just saying hey to everyone on here.. I'm going to be needing a lot of your help!

I recently purchased a 1990 Nacra 5.8 and am currently working on getting it all refreshed and ready to sail.

Now, I have lived on the water and around boats my entire life, but I have 0 experience with a Nacra and only a little with a Hobie 16, so please bear with me.

What I have replaced so far:
-Cam Cleats on jib and main sail blocks.
-Here is why.[Linked Image]
-Main sheet and jib sheet lines.

This boat already has a double trapeze set up but needs shock cords return lines. Any advice on the length and width of these I will need?

It also need new shock cord to hold the dagger boards in place. Any advice on these size of these?

It came with a new tramp I need to lace on and all the shrouds and stay seems to be in good shape, as well as the diamond wires?

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated and I can't wait to sail it.

Thank you.

-I did think of another question. How should the bridle for the jib be attached to the hull? Cable? How ling? I will put a pic up tomorrow of how it currently is.
