hoisting sling

[WallyHollyday]

Hi new boat owner here. Anyone have measurements, detail, or picture of hoisting sling (bridle)? Boat didn't come with one and need to get one made. Thanks! Hull #90

Hi Wally,  My sling has a 350cm front leg and 150cm aft legs from the center ring to the carabiner hooks.

See you next week..

[WallyHollyday]

Thanks Tim. What does the front leg attach to? Pictures anyone?

Hi Wally,

First off, welcome to the Class.

Take the shackle off your jib and attach to the bow fitting where it would normally go for the jib and clip the front leg to that.

Cheers,
John

Ok got it. Thanks

Wally, one thing you may want to do is have a small loop of spectra around your jib tack shackle that is strong enough to hoist from.  Prevents you from needing to remove the shackle each time and also adds length to the front part of the bridle if needed to keep the rig away from the hoist. Works nicely for us.
