Mark,

Iolanthe is a 1977 Cape Dory 30 ketch. She has roller furling on the working jib (with the club), main, mule, mizzen, mizzen staysail, and asymmetric spinnaker. Standing rigging is standard as from the factory (replaced about 3 years ago), and running rigging has been changed to all synthetic line (no wire). If you have any questions about standing or running rigging specific to this model, I may be able to aanswer.
