[quote=Indyxc]Thanks for the info guys. I am keeping the rachomatic one I have. It's the only one a local shop had, and I want to sail it this weekend. It's expensive but, oh well. Tomorrow is the maiden voyage.
A couple more questions. I was reading the nacra assembly manual, and it says the main sail is hosted and then hooked up on a hook to the top of the mast (like my Hobbie 18 was).
I was working on the boat today, and it looks like I just hook the shackle to the top of the main, raise it to the top, and then just tie the main raising line a clear to the bottom of the mast. There is no hook at the top of the mast? Is this normal? The nacra manual says there should be. This is a 1983 Nacra, per the hull.
Second, the mast sits on top of a ball as per the manual. However, the mast seems to sit high up on this ball, and is not cut out on onside like it says in the manual.
Is this a aftermarket mast or something?
Also, since the blocks are off, can someone point me to a manual on how to tie the sheets for the jib?
Thanks for the help!
