CD25 running rigging questions

Post by joshuadickey »

I recently acquired a CD25 with no running rigging. Does anyone know what lines I need to get her on the water?

Maripro has the following lines specified for the CD25 (not sure if these are correct or not):
38' genoa sheet
63' genoa halyard
60' main halyard

I found another thread on this forum with most of what I need sans the topping lift:
3/8" 50' main sheet

http://www.capedory.org/board/viewtopic ... ft#p127453


In addition, I'm sure i need a main sheet. Also, it seems like i might need some kind of topping lift? There are two pulleys on my mast head... one for the mainsail halyard, the other for a topping lift? Or flag?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Josh

Welcome to the Board.

I suggest you download and print the manual for your boat.

CD25-1978-Manual-1.pdf

Go to the CD specifications page and poke around - you will find it.

Essential reading and reference guide for an owner, I'd say. It will answer today's questions and tomorrow's (well mostly).

If you have any desire for sail performance think about going with low stretch halyards. They made a huge difference on Christine C.

Spinnaker.
The topping lift is closer to the center of the mast on my boat.
