Ct 54
hi everyone
I bought a CT 54 and got different question.
I just riggt a new forstay and try to put more tension on the forstay because my woodenmast have a back bend in the top quater even when the back and forstay is slack. Im not sure if it is desingned like this or just get like this after 35years of wrong rigg thightening. Aswell I have a very thick (proberly 3/4 inch!) wire triatic stay wich is fitted on the top of the mizzen with a turnbuckel at the mizzen end. To loosen that i nearly have to stand on the boatswainstuhl, so i dident do it yet, i dont work in the circus . After thightend the forstay I got a lot of vibration in the mizzen when winds go up to 20knt. Aswell I dont have a "spreader" (I dont no the exact word for it) in the bobstay what causes a small lift in the bowsprit. Im aswell thinking of installing a boom on the staysail.
O here some question:
1. does somebody got a drawing sailplan for the ct54 to see the origanall rigginplan?
2. How thik a wire triatic stay have to be?
3. How thight a triatic stay has to be? Vibration?
3. Do I need a bobstay "spreader", when yes, what is the angel between bobstay and forstay?
4. Does somebody have a link or tipps to install a boom for the inner staysail?
thx
