Mast Rigging

[John Wressell]

Need some help on rigging the mast on my 1983 35 Mark III. Does the upper shroud go through the forward on rear slot on the lower spreader? This is the first time that I've rigged the mast.

Thanks.

Rigging

You should be able to tell by the locations and orientations of the chainplates. The biggest chainplate with the biggest hardware will be for the uppers, then the intermediates, fwd and aft lowers, etc.

Normally, the uppers will go in the fwd slot, but the real way to tell is to see which will not create a crossing of the shrouds as they come down to the deck..make sense?
