I'll be blown if I can find the thread, we did this ages ago, those bungy around the forestay from boom to boom thingies, to keep the rig out in light stuff without grovelling in the bilges rocking about. There were some pics of it on boats with shrouds, I've just spent the afternoon fettling with the Solution of Joy and have sort of fitted something, I just need to check I've not made a complete fist of it.

Anyone got any piccies, pretty please?

JC Strop? Now how did that come about I wonder?

I know you're going to tell me and it is part of dinghy folk lore and there will be wood and varnish involved somebody with a beard wearing socks in sandals will wax poetically about rhum lines and the sun will eventually set in the west and we'll be none the wiser how it works..

I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.

Git - nearly got me there.

No forestay on an Aero so it can't work and there is no page 44, nobody could write 44 pages on how to rig an Aero.

It is a JC Strop, the initials of the guy who first fitted it apparently.

Block at the bow, bungee then gets fixed on the boom goes past the mast on one side then through the block, back past the mast on the other side and fixed back to the boom. Plenty of piccies about on t'internet they are common on Solos.

No need for a forestay just somewhere to fix the block at the bow.

Hmm block at the bow, now there's an idea, I did wonder, so the next question in or outside of the shrouds, that aero thing says all the other rigging, it doesn't have any rigging, the reason you need these things is because unlike unstayed rigs you can't get the boom end ahead of the mast to reverse the flow, they're totally unnecessary on an aero, I would have thought, just BS factor. Once you have the boom ahead of the mast the natural tendency is for it to fall further, on boats with shrouds it just keeps falling back, probably why it's used by Solo sailors.
