Orginal Main Sheet Rigging Picture/Diagram for Venture 222

Post by shv »

Does anybody out there have a picture or diagram on how to rig the main sheet? Its original with no traveler. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for responding SENCMa25. My boat has the eye strap on the starboard side like the picture but where the clam cleat is. There is a fairlead/clam cleat assembly on the Port side. There is a small swivel block on the Starboard side and a larger swivel block on the Port side. The Traveler Block has 2 pulleys. I'm pretty sure all the hardware is original and in the original position. Does this make sense to you? The fairlead/clam cleat assembly seems to be on the wrong side of the boat.

My 1987 Mac 25 setup sounds like yours.

I think this picture I posted is looking aft, not at forward at the stern.

So that means the right side of the picture is port.

*EDIT* I re-read what you wrote.

Maybe yours goes from the eyelet to the top part of the traveller, back to the block on the starboard side then back to the bottom part of the traveller to the cam cleat?
