H16 rigging question - 07/04/01 12:57 AM
I have a H-16 with the old style, single pulley on top of the mast.
<br>
<br>On the main halyard (wire rope) can anyone tell me how far from the thimble (looped) end of the wire rope the "bb" should be located/swaged?
<br>
<br>Right now it's appx 14" from the end and this seems to be the wrong distance; it doesn't lock the mainsail up far enough when it's caught underneath the...y-shaped ?halyard hook?
<br>
<br>
<br>Thanks!
