[quote=sefer]Hi again guys.
Sadly it turns out the guy I brought the cat from in a complete arsehole - it's missing pieces and is nowhere near the condition he stated. I will be taking him to court, but I'm basically stuck with the cat and short of reselling at a big loss, I figure I may as well get it on the water (he'll end up paying for most of it anyway).
So far I've found these things missing:
Triple Ratchet
Jib Traveller cars (L/R)
Jib bullet blocks
and likely more, as I've only tried rigging as far as raising the mast.
The tramp and jib aren't in awesome condition, but both will be usable for now, the jib really just need restiched, and the tramp is saggy as, but I'm thinking maybe I could get it cut in half and have some eyelets put on each side of the cut(reinforced obviously) to enable it to be tightened.
I'm also puzzled about how to tension the stays - the head stays clip to the front eyelets, and the shrouds clip to eyelets as well, but there are no pins, or turnbuckles, or anything to tighten everything down (and it needs it). Anyone able to tell me what should be there?
Finally, how do you suggest I go about rigging? It would seem there are some extra things - so I'm thinking the rig has been modified to account for the missing bits - I'll get some photos if that'd help - but a triple block would seem a minimum to get moving, right?
Thanks for any help guys.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by sefer on Dec 15, 2010 - 02:52 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
