INVESTIGATOR 563

Thanks Steve, I have no sheave at the end of the boom for outhaul. Did you fit your own?

Guys, More mast and boom stuff! How are your outhauls on mainsail boom set up. Mine currently doesn't have one, the clew was tied to the end of the mast and I have no rigging for an outhaul? Same with Mainsail reefing, the mainsail is new, and looks like previous owner just tied it down in the very ...

Thanks for the responses and advice guys

I am hoping that in the next 3 weeks I can get all the deck fittings done and the anti-slip pain...

So I have been told I gotta have spine surgery in 4 weeks, so am desperate to get the work completed on my I563. So I get the last coat (or so I think) of BRG on, only to find that I have not thinned enough and it will need another coat ( Rolling and tipping isn't as easy as it looks). So I move ont...

Mine has no CB, Is it a WA thing?
