Kevin Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share #877 Posted July 13, 2015 did some rigging today, today feeding lines from the knight-head through single blocks to the dolphin striker, not much achieved but enjoyable the spiritsail lower yard is temporary pinned to ensure i don't do anything stupid in the months ahead getting a little confused though how the spirit top saill is going to be fitted, imo the cloth would be snagged by the lines passing through the dolphin striker towards the top of the Jib anyway - i am sure i will find an answer rafine, keelhauled, md1400cs and 14 others 17 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

fifthace Posted July 17, 2015 Share #881 Posted July 17, 2015 Kevin I am wondering, did you ever look into a sail set for this?
