hello, i am a new owner of a an albacore and not sure what to think. its a skene, hull #4431. i am looking to race this boat this year at club level, and the idea of having many lines to fettle with sounds great. this boat does not have its original mast, it has a slightly older one because the original one broke off some 30 years ago. i also have a Grampian hull and spars but that's irrelevant. the boom i have for the skene looks pretty tough, but the mast is untapperd. i have some rigging in the mail, it includes enough to make a; 13:1 boom vang, 3:1 out-haul, 4:1 down-haul, and an 8:1 jib halyard. im wondering how i should set this up in my boat, or if im missing something/ something wont work. i also have materials to build a fly away jib stick, and halyard replacements. i also need help on creating the jib stick. i can upload pictures if needed.
thanks for the help,
Ben

There's a good guide to fly away pole fitting on the Enterprise website
www.sailenterprise.co.uk/wp-content/uplo...se-Flyaway-Poles.pdf

Where do you sail?

I would suggest you go on the sail makers web site and download their set up guides, Mike McNamara does a good one!

Thanks for the link, how long would the poll need to be for an albacore?

I sail in the kawartha lakes, North East of Toronto, Canada.
