I have to agree with Neil. The rigging is responsible for your primary mode of
propulsion, and the forces are signficant. At least down here in Florida
(Tampa area), riggers are pretty inexpensive, and the investment is well worth
it for peace of mind.

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

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
