TUNING THE H27 B&R RIG
sag in the headstay is too much then
adding tension to the verticals will fix it.
8. Once the rig is tuned you should make
sure to add the cotter pins to all the rig-
ging bending back the ends and taping
them to prevent snagged lines, sails and
fingers.
Remember that rigging, like everything else,
can age. As it gets older it may need to be
replaced. The frequency for which this be-
comes necessary depends on the climate
and conditions in which the boat is sailed.
For example: if you sail in the Caribbean it
should be replaced every 2-3 years com-
pared to every 10 for the great lakes. You
should consult a professional rigger for ad-
vice.
