I am looking at replacing the running
rigging on the
Cal 28.
I am in abit of a quandry as .. when I review the original specs per the
Cal 28 owner's guide (yes I know .. circa 1967) .. it calls for main and
jib 1/8" 7X19 ss with tails 5/16" dacron yacht braid .. I measured the ss and it is indeed 1/8" ss .. but the tails are 3/8" ..
My problem is that I am trying to identify sizing as I wish to replace with
spectra .. (I also have a professional rigger coming to inspect the standing
rigging .. which I may replace if needed .. with
spectra as well).
Can anyone offer any
advice?
Thank you in advance.
