    E-35 III chainplates and rigging overhaul

    Hi all. I wanted to share a few pictures of my rigging project. Hopefully it helps someone out who’s going through, or thinking about doing this. After sailing on a relatively calm day in Southern California, I snapped the u bolt on the port forward untold right at the deck due to crevice...

After reading some of the posts here, I'm thinking it could be from an overly tight rig? If we re-tune the rig, could this bulge be corrected? Or...
