Replying to:Spinnaker rig
I have an old wooden boat (591) that I mess about in with my sons. They are keen to use the spinnaker now and we have been trying to make sense of the rigging that we've got. I do not have another 125 nearby to compare with- I am in the wilds of tasmania. There are combined hooks and cleats on the gunwales forward of the chainplates. I imagine that they must bring the tack and/ or brace down to avoid the trapezing crew. There are small blocks below each gunwale well astern, near the transom. There is a cam cleat under the port thwart and a jam cleat stbd. There is a chute and sock. I would love a photo or drawing of a similar setup. Can anyone help?
