Boat is nearly complete, just missing a downhaul system and double trap wires (continuous preferably). If any of you folks have wither or both parts for sale please let me know. Downhaul preferably 6:1 and trap can have handles or not depending on price |

I don't know how you are set up, but double trap wires are easy to build if you have a swage tool ($ 25.00, the 2 piece one tightened with a half inch wrench) and a vice. It is a good place to learn swaging since the loads are relatively low. I've also used it to make replacement upper forestay w/swivel on my H17Sport. Note: all boat rigging should be double swagged. Also, I like to cut the wire with a dremel instead of a wire cutter, this way you get a cleen cut and don't crush the end

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/to/ ... aging.html http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/t ... utters.php You can't beat this place for hand swaging tools..19.00 for the one to do most every thing on a Hobie. The S&F cable cutters 18.00 will instantly and cleanly cut any cable you may use on a Hobie. http://www.riggingonly.com/ Great source for wire and thimbles,nicropress fittings etc. Bizzare website but great price/quality. Should you have an interest. |

Should you have an interest. Please do not make your own shrouds, or any other standing rigging. Lots of rigging failures due to homemade rigging. Even saw a 12 year old with a broken arm from homemade rigging. |
