Re-rig Cape Dory 25D

[Brion Toss]

Hi there,
We don't know what the loads on the wires are, so increasing or decreasing the diameters would be a shot in the dark at the moment. So before you address the clevis pin and wire diameter issues, let's see about those loads. Try the formula in the "Apprentice" or Skene's for standing rig sizes, based on waterline and half-beam at the chainplates, or have us do it. We'll go from there.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
