We have just completed our first 9 day cruise on CD30 Dayspring,
and had a great time. We would be very appreciative if anyone could
help with information on the original running rigging setup on the CD30 .
Dayspring has a number of blocks (3) at the bottom of the mast and
sheaves on the coachroof (3) leading back to the two small halyard
winches and a variety of jammers ( 4 0n port, 2 on stbd ) each side of
the hatchway.
We have set her up to use one winch for the staysail and one for the
headsail, which seems to be OK, but some idea of the original layout
would be interesting.
Also, does anyone know whether the Powermate windlass ( which may
not be standard equipment ) can be fitted with a chain pawl in place of
the rope drum ?

Re: CD30 Running Rigging
Murray & Christine,
Hanalei, (CD-30) hull #364 has the original running rigging. What you have has obviously been customized by someone. First, there was no anchor windlass. Originally, the rode simply was fed down through a deck plate in the after edge of the bow sprit. The anchor was carried on a roller on the bow sprit. I don't know if your windlass can be fitted with a chain pawl. Second, the original set-up at the mast consisted of a starboard windlass (I think it's a #7) on the mast for the main halyard. There are two smaller windlass's on the port side of the mast, one for the jib halyard, and one for the stays'l halyard. None of the halyards are led back to the cockpit. To port of the companion way, on the coach top, are two sheet winches, one for the main sheet, and one for the stays'l sheet. They are followed by two cam cleats to hold the sheets when adjusted. Each side of the cockpit is a jib sheet winch, non self-tailing. Originally, there were no blocks or sheaves at the bottom of the mast or on the coach roof. Also, there were no clutches to control any lines.
Hope this helps. I think the original CD owners manual has a picture of the running rigging as it came from the factory. I don't know if I can scan it into an E-mail, but I'll take a look at it and see if I can get it to you.
9 Day cruise! Must be nice to be where it's summer! Hanalei is on the hard in Noank, Connecticut and will be until about April. Enjoy Dayspring, she's a fine vessel! Happy New Year!
