![]() Hi, It's been a few years since I have posted on spar talk. I'm glad to be back on.
I had my foremast and main mast hauled out, varnished/painted appropriately with 12 coats of varnish and 2 coats primer white and 5 coats easypoxy gloss white. The masts are back in and now it's time to retension the stays and shrouds. I am gaff rigged, deadeyes on the shrouds and bronze turnbuckles on the stays.....forestay, whiskers, bobstay, triatic (stay from foremast top to main mast top). Running backstays on foremast. I have 2 shrouds each side of the foremast plus the running back stays. On the main I have 3 shrouds each side, no backstay. All shrouds are deadeyes. From past reading, I understand that the bobstay/forestay/triatic stay/aft most main shroud need to be adjusted before shrouds. What is the sequence for the stays and when are the whisker stays adjusted? What is the sequence for the foremast and mainmast shrouds? I assuming shrouds after stays for tensioning. Please mention any other steps, sequences, combinations etc. I am missing. Thanks Bob Summers Last edited by bobsummers : 07-08-2016 at 04:12 PM. |
