* * How to Rig &Tune your Corsair * *

This is a much sought after question. We are now in the process to make
a booklet that will give you guidelines with the running and standing
rigging & tuning of your boat. If you would be interested to assist us,
this would be much appreciated. We are interested in the following
articles; Mast rake and Mast bend, boat tuning etc. If you think your
boat is  rigged differently send us a photo & summary.

Sent your articles, photo's to the NSW Secretary.

Happy sailing Doreen

Hi Tim I am making a booklet with handy hints to rig, repair etc a
Corsair. I saw your messages to Marcus and you mentioned that you
added a image of the plate and the location (see story below) but I
can't find it.
Would it be possible to email me this image because maybe I can use
it for the booklet.

Could you email it please to corsairnsw@...

Thank you. Best regards Doreen

Thank you Marcus, thank you Doreen,

I'm getting very excited about a sail this weekend (taking my wife
for a picnic sail down to Quarantine near Portsea for our 10 year
wedding anniversary! - not quite what she had in mind!!)

I'll take some shots of my mainsheet setup too.

Sam

Doreen,

Great to hear some activity and advice coming through on the site. I am
experimenting with mast rake and wedging the mast. can anyone out there
provide me with some details or measurements on what they know is a good mast
rake for what conditions?

Regards

Tim

Subject: [CorsairAustralia] Re: Mainsheet setup



Hi Sam

For the mainsheet a rachet block with cleat is a very good option.
Much better on your hands.
Make sure that the cleat position is right, just one pull and it
should be able to un cleat it self straight away.

What I will do is that in two weeks when we are sailing again I will
make some close up photo's of main/ jib sheet rigging etc. So you can
get a idea how other people are rigging there boats.

If anybody would like to have a particular photo's showing any part
of the rigging just let me know.

Sam
For what its worth, we have just replaced a worn out ratchet
mainsheet block on 836.  The previous owners had cable-tied back the
cam cleat so that it no longer functioned.  Having spoken to them
about it, the main reason for this was that they always raced with a
mainsheet hand - it was his job to look after it.  My wife and I sail
with our two children and occasionally race two-up, so I decided to
replace the old block with a cleating ratchet block, so that when I
have one hand on the helm and one on the mainsheet things are a bit
less stressfull.  I am sure, however, the Corsair champions out there
will tell you that, given practice, a cleating mainsheet block is not
necessary - even without a mainsheet hand.
One thing I would say though - if you buy a cleating block get one
that allows for adjustment to the cleating angle.  I have set ours
very high so that it takes a positive action to cleat the mainsheet,
not an accidental one.  It is far better to have the block run than
cleat when you don't want it to, particularly gybing in a strong wind.

HTH
