syco,
the soft spot is on the top.
My problem is this: This is my first cat. I dont really know how things are supposed to be. It hasnt really helped that this cat is missing a load of stuff. Ha. I talked to a few people about replacing the rigging and noone could tell me what to do. Thats one of the reasons im so glad i found this place! You guys (in the gender non-specific way) are such a great help.
I heard a couple times to go to west marine, but I cant find the lengths for the things i need. Thats a big problem. I called a few Cat dealers around here too, and ne of the places I called about the rigging finally tracked down the lengths. And they quoted me about $60-75 for each peice of wire. Plus trap lines. And I still need blocks.
He is the only person i know that has the lengths but it seems really expensive for me, and id feel weird asking him for the lengths so i can go make them at westmarine. Know what I mean?
On top of all of this, I live in an apartment and dont really have anywhere to keep the boat at home, so i keep it at my dads lake house (i want to teach my brother and sister to sail) which is 5 hours away, and the deal i have with him is i have to get it sailing or take it away!
Its coming down to the wire (pun intended) and I just dont know what to do!

I just want to go sailing
