I bought an Alpha18. Sent my sails in to have new ones made. My problem is the rigging. I had a Dart18 a few years back and understand how it was rigged but this is alot different. I have searched for a rigging diagram but have been unable to find one. Can someonehelp? -

Welcome dudits! You've got a rare boat, is it assembled on a trailer?
How wide is it? I don't think I have any Alpha Cat rigging manuals on the site, so if you find any please share.
Have very few pictures as well, so please create an album and upload pictures of your boat when you can.
See the Photo Albums FAQ for help with that

Just take the small diameter (trapeze) wires off the big shackle. That leaves just 3 larger wires, 2 of equal length. they connect to each side of the boat about middle. 3rd one goes forward to the bridle. Add trap wires later. Pete
