    I did Google for quite a while before I even found this page. I haven't been able to find my exact configuration. Looks as though there are many many ways that a boat can be rigged and what I have seems more simple than anything I have found picture of. Im trying to avoid adding hardware where there never was any etc.

    can anyone tell me how to rig the front sail based on the rings that are present? it doesn't look like there was ever a bowsprit. there is a cable that runs from about halfway down the main mast, carries the top edge on the front sail and terminates with a turn buckle which i assume attaches to the forward most screw eye on the deck. they other screw eyes on the jib and the forward horse are the ones that i have questions with. well really i have questions with ALL of it. thanks!!

    heres a few pics of what I'm dealing with. they show where the existing screw eyes are etc. I can take more pics if need be. The boat is about 42 inches long and 55 inches tall. The stainless cables are original but not necessarily connected correctly. String is original also. The only string that I added so far is on the bottom of the main sail. The strong that goes through the tensioner and through the porcelain ring. I saw this in a picture and assumed I was supposed to have one.

    Just looking for a little help here as I know NOTHING about this hobby or sailing or anything else that may come into play. The back story is I'm trying to help a friend out by getting an antique model sail boat back in 1 piece. We are not necessarily restoring it, just trying to replace the rigging and hardware so that the mast will stand on its own and the sails will be tight etc. This will never sail but will serve more as a display piece. The dilemma is I'm not sure what hardware may be missing if any and I'm not sure where the ropes should go and their purposes etc. There are screw eyes on the mast and booms but no ropes attached etc. I'm hoping that someone here can just simply draw me a diagram based on the original locations of the screw eyes etc and show me how to ad the proper lines etc. Also if there is missing deck hardware that should be added. Finally I think the rudder may have been connected to the sail? I'm not sure how to post pics just yet but I will figure it out if anyone replies to this. Also the boat is about 42 inches long. I can take more pics as necessary but these show the placement of the existing screw eyes etc and should serve as a good starting point. Thanks in advance! Adam Danbury CT
