Post by Richard G. »

Trying to identify the ]original size of the wire used for rigging the CD27. Also interested in what size wire other CD27 owners are using.

Thanks

The above link will take you to a page that has the online owners manuals listed. The 27 is near the top and all you should have to do is down load it, go to the back of the manual and the wire sizes should be there.

There might be another manual listed that is newer as well.

Thanks for the lead. I have the original owners manual which is the same as the one that I downloaded form the Web Site. It does not have the wire sizes. I did however give a call to Robinhood Marine and they were most helpful giving sending me the specs. The fellow who helped me has a CD27, hull #96 I believe. In any event, the correct sizes are 7/32 for the fore stay, back stay and uppers. The lowers are 5/32.

Thanks again.
