From somebody who has lost a rig. Of all of the things we spend our
money on, the rig is one where spending the money on a rigger makes
sense. It is no fun to be bobbing a mile off shore trying to collect
rigging and sails in three foot waves, afraid to engage the motor for
fear of tangling in lines or sails. Find a rigger and have him give you
advice.

Thank you for the replies.
After some research it looks like I should use double jaw toggles to
connect the eyes of the new shrouds to the eyes in the existing shroud
plates.

Yeah I kinda misinterpreted the description. The swadged end
fittings should be properly attached to a tang which could then be
through bolted to the mast.

You can’t run a bolt through the eye on the end of a shroud.
The tangs line up the direction of pull, a bolt would be
getting pulled on at an angle trying to yank the head/nut off
from one side.

*Subject:* Re: Stus-List Standing Rigging Question From a
Former C&Cer
It's common to have the lowers attach directly to the spreader
bracket, is it possible that the plate is part of the bracket?
. Further, a plain bolt through the mast, when tightened,
could cause the walls of the mast to bend or collapse. There
should be a compression tube inside the mast through which the
bolt goes to prevent that. On my mast the compression tube and
bolt are directly in line with the spreaders, and the tang
plate for the lowers is part of the spreader bracket.
Attaching the lowers to just a plain bolt through the mast
doesn't seem advisable.

Hurricane Irma claimed Ox, my beloved 33-1.
In its place I now have a 1979 Cal-31.
I am hoping for some sympathy-advice regarding the
standing rigging on my new boat.
Below is the as yet unanswered question I posted on the
Cal user group site:
---
Greetings,
My new-to-me 31 came with an oversized, uninstalled, brand
new set of shrouds.
The mast ends have beefy eye fittings.
The existing lowers terminate with jaws that connect to
rectangular plates (port and stbd) that are bolted
together through the mast.
I am wondering if the intent was to do away with the
plates and run the bolt directly through the four eyes
(two eyes on each side, of course). :-)
Any thoughts or ideas are most welcomed.
Cheers,
--Bob M
