Hi, I’m brand new to the group, and I’m just finishing a major
overhaul on an English built 1985 cat sloop, with the self tending
jib, and a fully battened main. I bought “Pegasus” at a foreclosure
sale in Solomans Island on the Chesapeake, and sailed her there for
one season. It was fun but it became clear that she needed major
help. In particular,the running rigging had so much friction in it
that I constantly had to go forward to deal with the halyards and
sheets. In addition, the entire spinnaker, system except for the
spar,was missing. Any drawings or advice on these problems
would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Doug Baker.

Welcome aboard.
I own a Mull 30 and had much the same friction problem. I replaced all of the blocks with Garhauer blocks and used the proper size line (a previous owner used line that was much too big). Except for my in boom reefing, everything is quite slippery now.
There’s an owner’s manual for the 32 posted on this site’s Files section. I believe it has spinnaker rigging info.
