I got the mast up on my old tornado finally and I need help getting everything complete. First, it doesn't have a bridle so I was wondering where around me(redondo beach, ca) I could find the parts or maybe a diagram or pic of what I need. Next, I don't have a jib sail or any of the equipment for that either so I was wondering where I could get info on purchasing those. And lastly, we rigged the boom and were kind of confused on some parts of it so maybe if anyone has pictures or a diagram of how the boom is set up with the main that'd be awesome!!
Sorry for all the requests but thanks in advance!!!
uh oh
May be a bit of a silly question. But without the bridle, how is the mast staying up? I'm hoping you are getting some terminology mixed up and the mast isn't holding on by only 2 wires. 🙂 One of the fellows on the classifieds has some tornado sails and equipment for sale here: http://www.thebeachcats.com/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/10639/cat/4 he may also be able to provide some rigging photos and measurements.
same as eric answered you last time - http://www.thebeachcats.com/module-forum-viewtopic-topic-11940-start-0.html#pid22008
Haha well we tied a rope to the forestay and tied that to the trailer.
Also I looked at the pics on my last post and saw that that tornado has a furling system. Do you have to have a furling system? And those pics didn't have the boom on and all the other cats we have seen has totally different looking booms than ours.
Well, you'll have to drive up to Big Bear where I have 5 Tornados (and bridle & extra jibs). Roller furling not necessary. Pete 909-800-5237
