shroud

  1. re-coring lower shroud attachment, new backing plate.

    E25+ re-coring lower shroud attachment, new backing plate.

    A lot of people here will know that two different metals and some saltwater will create a battery, well non of the POs of my poor E25+ took the time to re-bed any of the deck fittings. This is what my backing plate was looking like :esad: This was the time for me to re-core the...

    Mast support without upper shroud

    I have an 1974 e27 and my starboard spreader bracket is broken. I am wondering if it is safe to go aloft to remove the bracket and spreader so that I can take in the broken pieces to be either used as a mold or to have it welded. What this would entail is having the upper shroud eased. Is...

    E33 Shroud to Chainplate Order

    To the other E33 owners- in what order do you attach shrouds to chainplates? I have been attaching upper and lower shrouds aft, and intermediates forward. The yard stepped my mast today and have attached upper and intermediate. aft with lower forward. They said a more fair run like this. Curious...

    E32-2 Shroud Tension

    While the test sail on the (project) 32-2 I'm in contract on went pretty well, I have some concerns. Lower shroud tension .. At the dock and under sail the mast was in column. While the uppers stayed tensioned, the lowers had more slack than I expected even at 8 knots or so. The standing rigging...

    Shroud adjustment

    I will be installing a backstay adjuster to my E-27. I have a split backstay and a rollerfurler. By how much should I loosen the foward shroud to accomodate the mast bend? Thanks, Chris

    PSC E 38 Shroud Turnbuckles

    I was thinking about replacing the turnbukles on my e 38 . I went to Navtec and discovered they had a Phuket agent/distributor. he went to my boat and reported as follows. "The problem being that you turnbuckles are unconventional in that they are have inverted toggles to match the...

    Spontaneous Shroud Detensioning

    I've never heard of this happening before--have you? I sailed out to Catalina yesterday, which is about 3.5 hours from my slip in San Pedro, with a good breeze. After mooring for the night and having a couple drinks, I walked to the bow to relieve myself. I grabbed the aft short shroud for...

    Shroud deck fittings

    Has anyone re-embedded the shroud fittings on an E34? Below the fittings, under the deck, there are two nuts under a block of walnut. Do these release the U-fitting? But how does one get the fitting's metal plate up? Is this connected to the rod that's attached to the hull? How does one...

    Shroud rollers

    When sailing on the lake we appreciate any wind we can get. I noticed on days with little or no wind, tacking was a hassle due to the jib catching on the shrouds. I have the turnbuckle covers to prevent snags and the small split tubing over the wires. Something had to be done. I took 6 foot...

    1983 E25+ shroud length

    There is a few inches difference in length between the inline lower, and the aft. lower? I removed them from the mast with out marking them. I think the shorter one is the aft lower. I am not thrilled with the idear of stepping the mast to correct the problem. Thanks much

    Removal of shroud deck attachment on 32-3

    Now that I have a nice set of Garhauer EZ Glide genoa cars, I can't get them on the tracks because the end of the genoa track runs too close to the coaming. Removing the track would be a nightmare, so the only other solution is to remove the Navtec U-bolt shroud attachment that blocks the...
