Two topics in one post.
1. Would you swap you P365 ketch for a pilothouse if the opportunity arose? I've actually posted that question with more detail in the Pilothouse channel.
2. Has anybody replaced and removed the triatic stay? Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? Following the rule to not leave the dock based on calendar and schedule rather than a good weather window,hopefully none of us will end up in a situation where we loose a stick. But,the triatic stay make it almost an assured thing that if you loose one that you loose both.
I need to do my standing rigging something fierce. No idea of the age, but I can pretty much assure you that it's long past due.
I'd like to eliminate the triatic and also add a club footed staysail. How to carry the foestay loads for the mizzen without messing up the cockpit nor the arc of the main boom.
Dale and others with staisail ketch rigs, where and how are the staysail stay mounted to the deck and where are the chainplates mounted? Dale you may have already posted details on your standing rig. I'll go look again if I just missed them!
Thanks,
Tom
Dale, just revisited upgrades for spring/summer. Any additional details or pictures related to the check stays and staysail stay at both the mast and deck would be hugely appreciated. Either to guide me in this upgrade or disuade me from starting!
