[quote=rockypointbob][quote=MN3][quote=rockypointbob]I recently purchased an 81 GCat 5.0 but she's needing a lot of TLC. Already received lots of good advice from this forum.
Anyone have some pics of the jib and main sheet (no boom) rigging? I'm going to have to replace it all and while I could probably figure it out eventually, it would be great to have some pics to go by.
Thanks[/quote]
There is a g-cat manual on this site somewhere - try searching for it (top right of every page)
there a tons of pictures online - try searching google for them
there is a g-cat facebook group - the real OG (hans Geissler) occasionally posts on it
you can rig these cats dozens of ways, often a sailor will work with what they have and improve on it over time and may have their own "system"
If your asking how to reeve your main blocks, or jib, ya gotta show us what you have before we can tell you how to set it up (pics) :)
if you have harken blocks (or even if not) i would suggest you search their site for how to reeve a 5:1 or 6:1 and so on (they now sell 10:1 for cats, maybe even more ...)Edited by MN3 on Aug 16, 2017 - 11:46 AM. [/quote]
Ok, I will get more pics posted soon to show what I have to work with. I think I have the mainsheet figured out. But its the jib sheet I'm not sure about. When I had the old aft tramp installed, there were two grommet holes on the tramp with a rope through each that was part of the jib rigging. But when I received the new aft tramp, it doesn't have these grommet holes, rather it has two straps running fore and aft with a loop....I'll have to provide a pic. Is this the barber haul?[/quote]
