Stus-List C 29 Mk1 tuning questions

[Karl Kuzis via CnC-List]

Hello all,

We are new owners of Hull#45 "Firefly" and I am interested in hearing if
any one has a set of starting rig tension measurements you could share.

Loos Gauge numbers would be great.

Just replaced the headstay due to wire damage I found under the foil.
(Wanted to avoid burying bad wire under the new roller furling). Now
working on retuning the rig.

All insight and experience sharing welcome!

Respectfully, Karl

Karl & Doris Kuzis

Agree with Ken.
Chasing the old threads could work if enough is still left from your extraction.
Or
Drilling out the old threads and tapping a size larger diameter thread should 
work as well.
A Machine shop can do this in their sleep.

Hi all,

Dropped the rudder on our C The set screw on the Donut nut were seized so 
they got drilled out.

The rudder post threads fared fine but the Donut nut needs to be changed. Does 
anyone have a source for these or an alternative? 

Sent an email to Holland Marine but am not hopeful.

Thanks for any help,

Carl
