standing

I'm about to change my standing rigging on my 1980 E-38, which I'm guessing is original. Looking at the specs in the manual, I saw an option for a single pair of heavier lowers, inlieu of the standadrd two pair of forward/aft lowers. Any one fave this set up? I'm curios how it works and...

Nancy just got off the phone and we're driving down this PM. The newly refinished spars, upgrades and standing rigging is supposed to be done ! Can't wait to see her tonight :clap: -Sven

Working on restoring an E 23-1. Will likely replace all standing rigging. Any recommendations on source for doing the work. Project is on Maui and no rigging shops here. Would also welcome any recommendations for furling head sail, brand/vendor(s).

Need to replace my standing rigging on 1980 e-38. Trying to get an idea how much to budget. Wondering how much additional rod rigging would be. Broke intermediate shroud on starboard side today 1n 20 knots racing today. Surprised that it broke at the top T-BALL swage connection. I...

I'm closer to owning my 1976 E27,a few more days now! The current owner has neglected the boat somewhat and although the standing rigging looks okay he has no idea how old it is so I would like to replace it. My question is :With a deck stepped mast is it feasible to replace the rigging one...

Hi all, I am in the proccess of re-rigging my 1970 E 35 2 but the yard I been having the work done in has mis-placed my original rigging:confused: I was looking in the archives for the factory size and lengths but I could not find any...does anyone have them or know where I can find them? Also...

Anyone replace their standing rigging recently? What did it cost? How do you get an honest assesment so that you are not just replacing rigging so that the rigger can make money?

After having the mast on my 28+ crash to the deck from a seperated forestay on May 12, I'm finially painted, re-lamped, re-wired and re-steped. The process of recovering a mast form the bottom and starting a rebuild is a long one. Having a mast fall to the deck is something you will not enjoy...

I am installing all new standing rigging and need the inital tension settings. I have looked in the manual but cannot locate it and I cannot search this site using more than 1 word otherwise I get an OR search. I hate the description in the manual that says the wire should deflect so many...

What are ballpark costs that one should expect in refurbishing the standing rigging of an E38 ? Truly ballpark ... 2, 4, 8, $16K or more ? Thanks, -Sven

Just unstepped and stepped the mast on my E27 for the first time. Am considering getting a loos meter to help tune the rigging. Does anyone have guidelines for the desired tension in each of the shrouds? Thanks, Bruce Hedman E27 Entropy Alexandria, VA

Boats on the hard; mast is down. I want to remove and replace standing rigging. It appears that I need to drill out rivets to get the shrouds off the mast. Anyone done that?

I need to replace the headstay on my 1977 E29. I found the owners manual on the site, it specs 7/32 diameter wire rope. I'm hoping somebody might have additional specs handy and can save me a trip up the mast. Does anyone have the length of the E29 headstay, and the pin size for the eye at the...

Hello, I am looking for a boat and am considering an '87 E35-3. The standing rigging is original and I want to get an estimate for replacement. Can anyone tell me the wire size or sizes? Also, I would appreciate any comments from owners about any potential problems to look for. Neil

Hello again, Can anyone give me a close figure to what it would cost in materials to replace the standing rigging and bottlescrews on an E35-2 in Florida? I will do everything but cut the wire and swage the terminals. Thanks again. Nicki

Heres a question that I hope is easily answered. What is the average life span of stainless standing rigging in a fresh water enviroment? i believe that my rigging is about 4-5 years old.

The PO of my boats states he set the tensions as follows: lowers 500lbs uppers 1000lbs backstay 1400lbs Can any confirm or correct these settings?

i need to know the correct, i.e. original, wire size for my 1978 E-25 c/b. don't seem to find anywhere in the available literature... thanks, as always~ bgs

Does anyone have any spec sheets for the E-27 standing and running rigging like the E-26 sheets on the Specs and Documents Doc Index?

Has anyone had experience rplacing their standing rigging? If so, what issues did you run into and what was the cost? I'm getting quotes in the $2,400 range that do not use the original Navtec fittings. Thanks in advance. Jack Garmin '88 E 32-3

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I would like to purchase a tuning guide for my husband for Christmas, however there are three choices at Boat US depending on the diameter of the rigging. I can't really ask my husband so I am hoping someone can help out. We have a 1974 Ericson 32. Does anyone...

A few years ago, someone on the Ericson sailnet forum posted some rough guidelines for setting the tension for the stays and shrouds on an E27. I used them then, but have lost the posting. I've posted this request there, but figure that not everyone reads both, so... That said, I'd appreciate a...

Does anyone have the tension values for the standing rigging on a 25+? I have the Loos Gauge but no clue as to what the ball park tensions for the stays and shrouds should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Someone out there must set their own rigging up, or know what the factory set it...

I have a E29, I noticed one of the plate screws coming out of the mast cable, (don't know all the right words here,) where the rigging that holds the mast up attaches to the boat, anyway, it was a wood screw, shouldn't it be bolts through the cabin top? Seem kinda flimsy to me, I am sure it is...

When should I consider replacing my standing rigging? I have not had a formal rigging inspection done, but I have had a professional rigger tell me that my rig is original. That means that it is over 30 years old on my 1973 E-27. To me the rig looks and seems strong outside of some light rust...

I own a '73 Ericson 35 with the original standing rig. My wire rigging is 30 years old and the turnbuckles are frozen. I read recently that the average useful life of wire rigging is about 12-15 years for coastal water cruising. Is this accurate information? What is the approximate cost of new...

A buddy was out in San Diego Bay just sailing around to relax single handing in his 22 foot Columbia, when his port side mid mast stay broke. He was able to stablize the mast with some extra rope he had aboard and get back to the dock, but he told me afterwards that it was a very tense moment...
