Rigging Diagrams/Pictures

[Alex Byczko]

Hey Everyone, 

I am super impressed with the turn out for NE 100. I hope everyone had a good time and glad the event was a huge tribute to Sandra. 

I bought a 2005 Hobie Tiger this summer to train up and race next year to both stay in this epic fleet and to honour my time with Sandra. 

My question for the group is does any one have any diagrams or pictures of how to run the continuous downhaul and jib sheet through the forward crossbeam (with bungee take up.) Currently I am dead ended to my chainplate for both downhaul and jib sheet, but I end up with one tack having all the slack and nothing on the other tack. (Continually have to even out the systems.) 

Im also super interested in installing a chicken line in the aft crossbeam, any help on that would great too.

Currently, my crossbeam end plates are plastic, I am not sure they are strong enough to support a potential eye strap for bungee. Im wondering if anyone has a bead on glass or metal end plates, or maybe I just have to make them my self. 

Any help on this would be massively appreciated! 

I hope everybody is doing well and I hope to see many of you next year with the Tiger.

Alex,

  If you send me your email I have bungee takeup diagrams. Google appears to have broken the groups and won't let me post the diagrams here, nor let me grab your email address. The Nacra Evolution and Falcon F18 manuals also have good diagrams.

Best,

Sam
