pictures of rigging Monty 15
I'd like to see your set up for a jib down haul and do you guys feel it's that important to dose the jib in heavy weather using one. Also do you have pictures of your set up for a down haul for the main sail and a boom vang set up. How important is a boom vang when you have your main sheet attachment is that close to boom center anyway? Lastly what modifications did you need to make to add a reacher to your small boat and is a reacher better or a light air genny with a pole better. Thanks for any input you have and please forward any pic's to my home e-mail. Smiley and Karen magoo252@comcast.net
I put a Harken 82 block on a strap eye on the port side, just in front of the toe rail, bolted thru the hull/deck joint so you won't have to worry about sealing it. Run the line aft to the bottom of the coaming, where you'll mount a small fairlead, then up nearly to the top, where you'll mount a small clamcleat. The last few years of my production of both the 15 and 17 had this as standard equipment, also jib reefing on the 15. It's really useful coming on to a dock, or anchoring; just release the halyard and suck the jib right down to the foredeck. It'll stay there just fine. 3/16 line is perfect. jerry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen and Smiley" <magoo252@comcast.net> To: "Montgomery Sailboat Forum" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 2:57 PM Subject: M_Boats: pictures of rigging Monty 15
