1965 phoenix-help!  Bottom

  • Just purchased a 1965 Phoenix cat , and am looking for assitance with how to rig the boat for sailing. It does not have Main sheet pulley system, jib sheeting system, a method to raise the mast, a rudder control stick, tiller extention, and how does the fore stay connect to the bridle??? This boat is in very good shape, even the rudders are 100%.
    Would be fun to bring it back to original shape.

    I would love to see how the original boat was fitted out, and what can I purchase from other manufactures to use in place of the originals.
    Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
    mr. d
  • Welcome and condolences, post a boat load of pics. You may have the most obscure cat on the block. You're in the right place but you're in for a long haul. GH

  • I would suggest a 6:1 Harken mainsheet system, Harken jib blocks, a used hotstick (Arriba stick) depending on your yoke on crossbar. Check the post on current forum page for mast raising techniques and post a pic of bridle/forestay pieces. Have most of the parts used (see my classifieds) and should have you on water in a week.
