Rob,
Our Redwing 35 was originally christened as Red Pepper. From what I
understand, Red Pepper was bought in Chicago by a three person team to
race. Still can't believe the equipment that she had including Loran C,
EPIRB.
I met George Cuthbertson in Toronto in 2000 at a C&C Rendezvous. He
said that he remembered those first twelve Redwings as they figured out
the final configuration. We loved that boat for the 21 years that we
had her until the starboard upper chainplate bulkhead blew out and we
lost the rig. Now we have a Mark III and really like the updates and
creature comforts (and how well she sails). I certainly appreciate your
design efforts.

I sailed a lot on the first Redwing 35, Redhead, and we had an over
length spinnaker pole - so it had to be robust.
As a result, at the right wind angle we could fly the chute And the
jib and we were wicked fast . . . . .
Sailed the length of Lake Ontario following the wind angle rather than
the compass in the Lake Ontario International . . . . .
But, alas the rule makers eventually figured out that it was faster
than they envisioned . . . . .

Hey, don't laugh. I still have a Blooper, a reacher, a drifter, a
spanker, a staysail, a banana staysail and a few others that I may
have forgotten. Our Redwing 35 was originally purchased to compete in
the Chicago-Mackinaw race in 1971. The Spinnaker pole was a tree
trunk, the reaching strut breaks down into three pieces. There were
three #1's, two #2's, a #3, a 1/2 oz spinnaker and a 3/4 oz
spinnaker. Most are still hanging from hooks in the barn. We still
use the drifter and I gifted the 1/2 oz spinnaker to Glenn Gambel on
the list for his C&C 36.

Charles,
The track would be for a staysail and the pole foreguy (downhaul),
they may have been attached to the same car but usually each had
their own car on the track.
Since your spinnaker pole only has one bridle they probably did dip
pole gybes instead of end for end.
If your boat came with bags of old sails one is probably marked
Staysail, Tallboy, Spinnaker Staysail or Lowboy, they were popular
in the ‘70s.
The main rule with a staysail is you gain a knot when you put it up
and you gain a knot when you take it down. J
Who knows, you may even have a Blooper too.

Gary;
My 30 is from 1973 and was raced extensively for its first ten
years. Most of the fittings and lines I recognize, but, I have a
track with a car running down the foredeck. The spinnaker poll has
only one bridle for the uphaul. Not sure what that track helped
control. I mostly solo sail with guest that wish I had a power boat
so their drinks wouldn't spill. I don't think i'll miss it but was
interested in it's function.
