RedLine 0 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Am working out what to do about a Rig replacement. I inverted & damaged the old rig last week. Option 1) replace existing section with identical section. Option 2) Get a carbon stick, and fit it out myself use existing Aluminium spreaders etc. There are a few 930's out there with Carbon Rigs, have no idea who made them. Would be good to have a few pics of the Carbon rigs, how many spreaders 2 or 3?. Are they still 3/4 fractional or 7/8 etc. Who made your Rig? what did it cost approx?

Absolution 7 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Grant Jenkins (Kiwi Rigging) built most of them. He built the new rig for Fineline too. I'd say definitely go carbon... We took a lot of weight out which improves the righting moment but also the extra stiffness means its very easy to maintain forestay tension. It also reduced the pitching motion when sailing into a chop which makes the boat much nicer to sail. Link to post Share on other sites
RedLine 0 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 HI Fineline You sure Grant Made the Rigs or just fitted them? As these are usually done in an Autoclave ? Stu Link to post Share on other sites

TimB 7 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Still look like noodles to me, Stu. Lots of rake on those lower spreaders on hotdogger, does that still fit the original chainplates or new ones further aft? Tb Link to post Share on other sites
RedLine 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Looks good to me. Anybody know who Manufactured the Rig rather than who put it up? I was thinking 3 spreaders would be required, rather than two. Was even thinking an FT10 Rig might slot straight onto a 930? RL Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I would imagine it is a tube from Sneaky? (Stirling Composites) http://www.stirlingcomposites.co.nz/ Link to post Share on other sites

philstar 61 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 hey Stu I can confirm that bart from nz rigging did a superb new cathedral rig for my Ross 780 Rafferty rules. He was awesome to deal with and the rig came in at a really good price. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Then the next question is the rig configuration. Fast Co is set up for a full overlapper #1 on the forestay, the No Worries / Pepe configuration is a 110% approx and Code 0s. This would impact on whether you go for 1 or 2 m/h halyards. It is also probably most dependent on your current chain plate configuration, both sweep and where they are in relation to gunnel and then also crew skills. Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 carbon cathedral rig with 110% jib and a code zero for really light work. also square top main too. nice!! Link to post Share on other sites
