I pulled my mast almost a year ago at the start of a refit. I carefully measured the old wire, and then recycled it. I'm ready to prepare the mast to go back in, I discovered I lost one piece of paper with the shroud lengths. Does anyone have these written down and willing to share?
Below is a description from another Ballad owner (in swedish unfortunately) who has done a similar job. Please note that the measured endpoints are not cc-measures.
inte center till center för då blir det fel. Se bild.
Topvanten är 10,390 ,detta är orginal med 7/16 vantskruv.
Med 1/2 tum blir vanten 10,355.
Undervanten skall vara 5,665 men 7/16 och 5,630 med 1/2tum.
Förstag är 11,266 med 7/16 och 11,231 med 1/2 tum.
med 7/16. Detta kanske inte stämmer för all då hanfoten kan vara olika.
Eftersom röstjärnen är 11mm i hålet måste de borras upp till 13mm, det finns gott om gods.
Hoppas det hjälper någon som funderar på att ta steget till en starkare rigg.
not center to center for then it will be wrong.
The top shrouds is 10,390 m, this is original with 7/16 turnbuckle.
With 1/2 inch turnbuckle the measurement becomes 10,355 m.
The lower shrouds shall be 5,665 with 7/16 and 5,630 with 1/2 inch.
The fore-shroud is 11,266 with 7/16 and 11,231 with 1/2 inch.
Since the rods are 11mm in the hole, they must be drilled up to 13mm, there are plenty of goods.
Hope it helps someone who is thinking about taking the step to a stronger rig.
Thank you for translating, that helps. If someone else has the measurements I would like to compare.
I found the lost paperwork, thank you all for helping. Building new rigging now.
Are there any differences between your figures and the ones from no 13?
I never thought to compare. I had taken center to center measurements, was not clear on where the ( 13 ) measurements were taken . Boat is back in the water and I am glad. I did manage to miss the forestay length. Fortunately I could shorten in place with the Stay Loc fittings. Nice to know the rig should stay where it's supposed to.
