On everything up top on the standing rigging, I now use only SS cotter
pins.....this is because on several occasions, and I can not explain how
it happened, the split rings vanished. Luckily, nothing fell down
before the missing split ring was detected. I have no explanation how
the split rings disappeared but I do know that since being replaced with
cotter pins, there has not been been a missing pin.
The thread Subject is "rig tuning"......on that note I have rod rigging
and a Loos RT10 tuning gauge is a must for me......I can't pull on
shrouds and tell how much tension is there. Now someone will chime in
and tell me to measure my threads in the turnbuckles. But how do you
initially do that without a reference point with the benefit of a gauge.
When we were campaigning our Kirby 25, we made rig adjustments depending
on the conditions. We still used a Loos gauge to take the guessing out
of the equation.
I shouldn't admit this but I will.....on my shroud turnbuckles, I use
the small plastic pull/lock strings (or whatever they are called). Once
I get my rig tuned early in the Spring after a few sails, it stays that
way all season unless I adjust it after periodic checking with the Loos
gauge and sighting the mast, of course.

Tim,
How often do you make adjustments? Do you have a tension gauge for
rod rigging?

I got those (wrap pins) last year - and am very happy with them -
no sharp edges, no messing around with rigging tape to make
adjustments.

A comment was made to me the other day that if an
insurance company sees split rings at the rigs turnbuckles
(vs cotter pins) that coverage will be null and void. I
found nothing in my policy stating this detail.
Anyone else ever hear of this?
Thanks,
Pete
