<DIV>I have a set of upper and lower shrouds for sale that were on on the rig for a year. Like brand new with turnbuckles. Never sailed the boat with them. Replaced them with longer ones to accomadate the new calibrated turnbuckles I purchased</DIV>

<DIV class=signature id=signature>--<BR>Wayne <BR>-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: Derek Meyer <djmeyer16@yahoo.com> <BR><BR>> Hi Pat, <BR>> Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm just going to replace to forestay and <BR>> backstay so that I don't need to think about it for another 7 years. It has <BR>> been 6+ years since the previous owner did the standing rigging so I was <BR>> expecting this (just not quite this soon). And honestly, Seals Spars are less <BR>> than I was expecting to pay for the forestay and backstay (although the shrouds <BR>> cost more than I expected). <BR>> <BR>> Also, I appreciate the compliment on the deck. It took a lot of work! Now I <BR>> just have the top of the doghouse and cockpit to do, which seems like it may <BR>> take the rest of my natural life. <BR>> <BR>> As for helping me lower the mast, that I would greatly appreciate, not only for <BR>> the extra manpower but also some
guidance from someone with some experience <BR>> removing masts (the largest mast I ever took down was probably on a Laser!) <BR>> <BR>> So anyway, I'm planning on getting this done asap (like I'll call on Monday and <BR>> order the parts) because I am planning on pulling the boat between Christmas and <BR>> New Years to do the bottom. I'm picking up the Keel Templates from Arjan on <BR>> Monday. <BR>> <BR>> Which actually brings me to a question: would you pull the most with the boat in <BR>> the water or on the hard? I.e. is one easier than the other? How hard is it to <BR>> lower the mast? <BR>> <BR>> Thanks, <BR>> Derek <BR>> <BR>> --- On Sat, 12/6/08, Nancy & Pat Broderick <BRODERIC@SONIC.NET>wrote: <BR>> <BR>> > From: Nancy & Pat Broderick <BRODERIC@SONIC.NET><BR>> > Subject: Re: [Santana 22] Standing Rigging <BR>> > To: djmeyer16@yahoo.com <BR>> > Cc: tuna@myfleet.org <BR>> > Date: Saturday
