supercat 19 main line rigging

Post by relloyd »

I have a supercat 19....a novice I am. Does anyone have a photo on how to rig the main sheet. I pulled the line out of the rigging and cannot figure out how to run it back through. I replaced the line but it appears too thick. Anyone know what size line to use?

Relloyd,

Take a look at this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=132&p=420&hilit=mainsheet#p420

The discussion is about the mainsheet on the ARC-21 which is slightly different, but it might be enough info there for you to re-rig your SC19 mainsheet.

For the mainsheet we will commonly use a 3/8" line that has a fairly smooth jacket. This is a decent size to grasp and runs very nicely through the blocks. Avoid "Fuzzy" lines as they absorb a lot of water and dirt and do not move very smoothly through the blocks. I also personally think 1/2" line is too large in diameter even though the blocks will accept it.
