RIGGING LIST

I want to lengthen the reefing line & carry some spare rigging. Some of my bungees are also starting to fail. Is there a full rigging list anywhere for the AI?

Page 38 of the current parts and accessories catalogue?

Try clicking the link, and scrolling down to page 38. I'm not sure if that's what your looking for, but it might be a good place to start.

A possible suggestion on lengthen of the reefing line. I tie a permanent loop on the end of the sheetline, and then tie the reefing line to it each trip, so I can always find it in a hurry when needed, instead of having to leave the seat to reef.

Ger, as Bob noted, you can just graft a 4' length of soft line between the sheet and the furling line. More than that will just drag in the water or hang up on something. I just replaced my furling line with extra long one, and it now overflows the reeling spool on the mast, so adding a 3rd rope still seems like a good idea to me. Cheaper too.

Unless the bungees are frayed, you may not need to stimulate the hobie economy at all. It's easy to pull up one end cap and trim a couple inches off the existing cord. Tighten it to taste, double the knot and melt the end.

All you need is the hobie padey wrench or thin needlenose pliers and a lighter.

(Clear the plastic manufacturing trash from the open hole and lube the threads before rescrewing the cap).

Almost good as new. With money left over for new tramps.

Thanks for the info & advice, I'll give the loop on the sheet a try. I'll also attempt the bungee repairs. I would still like to carry some spares though, and I'm surprised that I cannot locate a complete rigging list for the AI.
