I always get these things posted back wards some how here we go. Little details help in identifying star board and port side line work. West marine had two different collors of locking units when I went to make my lines I chose to run two different collors to make sure the lines get put on the correct side. Silver is star board dark is port side.
This also helps yet know it will get wore out. Started with a bow line not at top and tied half knots for a grand total of six inches of length then ran that same line back up (with out cutting it) raping a single cord between the half knots keeping them all tight finally finished off with a bow line knot. This is only done on the aft lines to help protect from damage to the boom when it rides against down wind.
Jib foot fold 5/16'' x 24' line in half then back through.
The tie in at the bow.
Here she is all lined up and ready to go think spring and water is still cold. I had a grand total of four good runs on this rig because of my lack of experience and weight I have a real hard time keeping all that sail up.
Note the bend in the mast!!!
Trial run line to jib is to small but the pull out for the roller is all good.
Star board side tied in ready to go.
Second shot of star board side ready to go.
Port side in good detail ready to go.
Second shot of Port side ready to go.
A great shot of detail of tie up start with bow line on shackel make 6 or so raps the then half knot each rap working from the bottom to the top. Turn out nice expect to do regular replacement of lines.
