I don't even know were to start but here goes. About a year ago I purchased a 34' Creekmore it is a pretty unique looking boat to say the least. I have started a web page to keep track of all work I've done on the boat and i have hundreds of pictures in there.

If you take the time to look at the pictures you will see that i have gotten to a point were i need to figure out the deck layout and numerous other things. the Mast is an Isomat that was rigged for the first time a year ago. It had been sitting in storage for about 15 years. and basically looks brand new. all wire is 19-9 316 s.s. with sta-loks on the lower ends and swaged fittings above. I have a baby(cutter) stay but no back stays to oppose it. Is it needed or is the mast stiff enough?
I also have 4 big lewmar winches 2 self tailing and two non self tailing. I need Ideas as to where i should mount them, the main sheet track, the jenoa tracks. I need to know where to put everything that is attached to the deck. Sadly Lee Creekmore the guy who designed this boat is of no help. I have called and written numerous times asking for info(willing to pay) and Nada.
Honestly i would love to find a really knowledgeable rigger to spend an hour or two with me and tell me this is what needs to be done. Brion you coming to Miami any day? My intentions for the boat are extended cruising with a very limited crew. I would like to be able to single hand this boat 99% of the time. I never intend to fly any spinnaker that requires use of a pole.
where do I start?
Also budget is a big issue. How does everyone feel about Garhauer products?
I am willing to research anything that is requested and like I said there are 100's of pics that you can look at on the myspace page.
Thank you everyone.
