Wire rigging

Post by hrsail »

In my Cape Dory 31 Manual the below is stated for turnbuckle measurements, But no measurement for CD 31.

CD-33/36 Lowers Y = 15-3/4"
CD-36 Staysail Y = 15-3/4"
CD-33/36 Uppers, backstay, forestay Y = 19”

Would appreciate any feedback

If no one else replies, I may have the data at the boat. We'll be there on Friday.

That would be wonderful.
We have the correct manual for CD 31, Hope yours has CD31 specs.
Even when searched, its the same as our hard copy.
We unstepped mast this winter and are installing new rigging.

hr,

Just a suggestion based on experience. I would contact Rigging Only in Fairhaven, MA. You can ship them your existing rigging and they can give you a quote to make you replacements to match the existing. You won't have to worry about measurements.

They are great folks to work with and the customer service is outstanding.

Good Luck
