Posted by jborigin@… (jborigin@…)

is the mast strong enough to support a 6’4 person’s wieght on it? So i can see how to install?

I have a F21 and I want to add a 3rd halyard for the staysail to be
able to riase spinnaker or stay with out re rigging.

Does anyone know how this is accomplished.

Feel free to email direct also

I had a F-21 rigged like that. It just had an extra sheave installed
above or below the stock one (don’t know which, sorry), and an extra
halyard exit a few feet up from the deck (not at the same height as
any of the others so as not to weaken the mast). The boat came to me
(used of course) with this mod on it and I sold the boat maybe 10
years ago, so I don’t have a lot of details. HTH

I never went up the mast on my F-21. I just used the tabernackle to
lower it. Much easier/lower risk, etc. If you don’t have the
tabernackle, I’m sure the mast would support your weight. I’m pretty
sure mine would hold my weight if I supported both ends horizontally
and sat in the middle. I’m only 6’3" though. :slight_smile:
