Main Halyard rigging

[LDCB...@aol.com]

Hello All,

 

While trying to unwrap a tangled main halyard today, my helper un-cleated the bitter end (in an good hearted effort) to give me more slack topsides. The only problem is while we were both looking up he was not tending the end and I pulled it through the fairlead and up into the mast.

To shorten the story the Main Halyard is completely out now. 

 

My first question. Is the mast head a single or double sheave arrangement for the halyards?  I cannot remember. Having to feed a painter/feeder line in over two and then down inside the mast will be harder.

 

The other issue is that we will have to drop the head sail since that is the only trust worthy halyard that goes to the masthead. Just will be on the wrong side.

 

Any neat tricks you know would be appreciated.

 

Thanks you all in advance.

Hi Larry,

Many CR38s had Isomat NG70 spars. Rigrite has a great website for reference including exploded views of the masthead assemblies. 

Here is a link to the Isomat page that matches your boat and also a link to the exploded masthead view.

If you don't have Isomat, then you'll have to dig a bit more, but their web site should give you some answers.

Cheers

Thank you, Dave.  Great reference material.  The bits all look very familiar but I never knew the manufacturer. 

Oh, My!  CR 38 111.
