Jacklines for Sea Puppy

ok here is what I have come up with. Hopefully this should work well..

I tested all the options and ended up going with Kelly Holsten’s suggestion from the Beneteau235.com website of terminating it at the babystay. If you lead it up farther than that it has to run near the toe rail loosely… Run to the babystay anchor point it will let you reach the pulpit but doesn’t give as much slack over the sides as if it was run all the way forward by the toe rail.

I used a figure eight knot with a bight in it to attach to a large snapshackle that hooks into the babystay attachment point… while i was at it I also changed out the babystay attachment for another large snapshackle to make it easier to get it out of the way on the fly. 🙂 I did the same for the jib attachment.

Mounted line Clutches on Sea Puppy

Well I got several things done today…. finally got starboard upgraded to 4 spinlocks 🙂 all I have left is now getting my organizers from 3 sheave to 6 so that I can run the 4th and 5th lines correctly back to the spinlocks and cam cleat.. oh cam cleat still to be installed on starboard also.

This picture shows the old mounting holes that I filled with epoxy.. I will need to take an impression of some of the non skid area to make a mold so that next time im doing some jelcoat repair I can cover where the holes and that mess are with non skid texture to match the surrounding areas.. the piece of paper is my template that I made to drill the new holes.
I moved the clutches back about 6 inches to maintain strength and also to not let my angle from the new clutch get too sharp. It is recomended not to exceed 10 degrees
