Well I finished fixing up my boat and proceeded to rig the boat. I had a bag full of ropes and my two sails (Jib and Main). I looked at the users manual and it was very vague on details about how the lines and sheets should be rigged and the model pictured had a roller furler. I was able to step the mast by myself with little effort (woohoo). My manual is a Third Edition which is copyrighted in 1997, but my boat is an '86. I tried to follow it as much as possible but ended up giving up after trying to figure it out for over an hour. Is there a better guide with pictures on how to rig this boat? Where do I start? I have a couple of lines with shackles and a couple with snap hooks, and several with nothing on the ends of the lines. It doesn't show in the manual how the halyards are run down the mast and what goes through the block and pad eye on the front of the mast. Can someone teach a newbie how to run his lines and rig his sails? Do they have videos for this? My local stores had nothing in the way of 14.2 materials.
