I’m Jeni and he’s Rich. We’re really just a couple of average Joes. In a nutshell we met and married in our early 20s; I graduated from college in my late 20s; adopted two cats and a dog in the late 90s; sold a house and bought a new house in our mid 30s; then sold the new house and moved onto a sailboat in our early 40s. In between all that we had a bunch of fun like camping, scuba diving, watching hockey games (Go Red Wings!), concerts, traveling, spear fishing, restoring a 1963 Chevy II Nova; spending time with family and friends. A few years ago we decided to lay off all the fun-having to fix up this old boat. We figure if we put our noses to the grindstone for a few years, we’ll be able to travel for a few years and do all the fun things we’ve missed.
Before even looking at this post I knew it would an excellent item to look at. You guys are a great resource for us crrisers!
Much appreciated!
thumbs up for showing reality... Thanks!
You bet!
Hell yeah why not man. Thanks for being real.
Knowing about constructional stretch and creep with dyneema, I would have been tempted to try stretching it again before I lengthened it. Hopefully you won't run out of adjustment too soon, but, if you do, just bury a little more on one end!
You cleaned it but you haven't done anything to stop further corrosion. Now it has nylon instead of SS touch which is much better but moisture always sticks just at that touch. Heat shrinking tubes are not just good to keep the splicing together but for sun exposure as well. I would apply them on whole length, covering everything. If the whole rigging is made by dynema, fore stay is good to be made with SS wire, especially if you mount it and dismount it from time to time.
Yeeeeeees, you are human!!! 🙌🏻😆
😂
Cudos to you for sharing the minor and easily corrected problems. In this way, other cruisers can learn. As usual love all the details. One reason I regularly view each episode. I have also been hunting for an easily detachable turnbuckle, and yours looks excellent. Cheers.
Thanks Sgt. Bond. I'm glad Dyneema can be re-spliced. Sure can't make wire rigging longer once you cut it....
Hey you two - love this channel! I used Colligo for the entire rigging of my 1974 Pearson 419 Center Cockpit Ketch. John, indeed, picks up the phone - a wealth of information. His folks are great too. Allie helped me design and fabricate my rigging. They are very professional folks...
Thanks for watching Ricky. Looking forward to working with Colligo again when we rig the running backstays to support the forestay on a reefed main.
Couldn’t have been because you were by Devils Mountain huh😂😂😂
Great job Rich and Jeni
Thanks as always for watching.
You could just put a shackle and a couple of chain links on the lower deck fitting and remove them once the dyneema has stretched out…
Good to see real time stuff ups.🤩
Are you using hank on sails? Aren't you worried about chafing?.
Yes we are using a hank staysail and no, we’re not worried about chafing. New hanks on Dyneema will be fine. Old hanks that were used on a wire stay on Dyneema may cause chafing. Check out the Colligo website to see the testing they’ve done with hanks on Dyneema.
Saludos es interesante tu video 🙋👍🙏
Gracias!!
Just found your channel some really good quality content and relative to me as I'm pretty much doing a similar refit on a Ericson 39b down here in New Zealand. A question are you using running backstays when you have your innerstay unhooked? I have a smaller slot that yours for my very large 135% genoa to pass through, but I don't have running backstays and noticed that my headstay is definitely looser when I trialed without innerstay. Wondering if I will have to compensate with a double running backstay!
I still need to rig some runners and I haven't had a chance to try out the jib with the inner stay removed, so I can't speak to that subject. At that point it's basically a sloop rig so the primary backstay may need some additional tension to keep the headstay snug when running a big 135%.
How are you getting up and down the mast?

@@svrambleon awesome. thank you!
I wish I had a dollar for every boat project I've screwed up. I'd be a millionaire.
Is she standing right under you, you using a hammer up there without safety loop round your wrist, looked liked ?
Anytime a married couple can laugh at the end of a project like this one says that a pretty good couple. Now you know what's coming Rich. Why didn't you paint the corroded tab?
We're going to pull the mast this summer when we haul out and we'll fix it up then. Alway use Tef-Gel on stainless fittings in and aluminum mast...
