Hi Matt Our boat is a masthead 33 footer (almost identical to 33-2 sail plan). We do end for end with just one set of sheets. In any breeze it takes two good sized crew to manhandle the pole during a gybe. Our friends 33-2 is rigged for dip pole (spin pole has different ends so can only do this). In light winds they would prefer end-for-end. We are contemplating running spate sheets and guys for anything much over 15 knots TWS in the future as that would make gybes much easier on foredeck crew.
Your 36 is masthead and would have a lot more sail area so I would think separate sheets and guys are likely a very good idea. The 36 our family had growing up flew the spinnaker so rarely that I cannot recall how the pole was run but I would guess was dip pole. A friend had a 36 until two years ago. I will ask him how the boat was set up and get back to you. In fact he was the third owner of the same boat that we had new in 1981 Mike Persistence Halifax, NS -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Knighton via CnC-List Sent: Friday, June 08, 2018 3:37 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Matt Knighton Subject: Stus-List C&C 36 Kite Rigging Hey All, Getting new running rigging on a recently purchased C&C 36. What does the brain trust recommend for gybing: dip pole or end-to-end? I.e. Can get away with only lite sheets or do we need guys as well?
