Reply to: Adjusting rigging tension on a Trac 14

[quote=rch701]The trac is a super fun/ light boat. The does your rig have two stays, two forstays, and the jib w/ cabled luff? If so, then you tension the rig with the jib. this is also true with lots of racing dinghys. your jib halyard (which hoist the jib) should have a ring/ loop in the line. when the sail is all the way up, the ring should be in reach. pull some of the extra line thru the loop. now you have a loop of rope. put that loop around the cleat on the mast. now you have a pulley system for tensioning. once you tension the rig simply cleat the halyard to the mast. If you reside in New Orleans then you probably have my old boat. they are fairly rare[/quote]
