To All,

Another member sent me an email about the standing rigging spec in the owners manual.
I'm hearing there are different specs posted in different versions.

I briefly took a look at this topic and I want to get other owners comments.

Website manual
All wires are 1x19
Forestay: Diameter: 3/16, Length: 29’,7-3/4”
Backstay: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 34’,1-1/2"
Upper Shroud: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 27’,7-5/8”
Lower Shroud: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 13’,5-3/4”
Note: Single backstay, so the length is longer
Note: This appears to be for the standard rig with chainplates on the cabin top (wing-keel and later water-ballast models)

Forestay: Diameter: 3/16, Length: 29’,7-3/4”
Backstay: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 26’,1/4”
Upper Shroud: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 29’,3/4"
Lower Shroud: Diameter: 5/32, Length: 10’,1/2”
Split backstay uses a bridle, so the length is shorter.
Note: This appears to be for the original water-ballast model where the chainplates are on the deck/hull joint (rub rail)

Catalina Direct also lists the tall-rig shrouds, which was only offered in the wing-keel model.
Those shrouds have 3/16” instead of 5/32”
