| Rigging Instructions:
"Sturgis Style" Daggerboard Control System |
 |
 |
| The "Sturgis Style"
daggerboard control system serves two purposes, to elevate the hiking
straps and hold the daggerboard up or down. Keeping the straps
elevated make "hooking in" after a tack much easier.
Daggerboard control system provides a method of keeping the board up
off the wind and preventing in from jumping or creeping upwind.
The advantage of the "Sturgis Style" system is that it
integrates both these functions into one bungee, it is simple to rig
and it requires no modification of the hull. It is also
adjustable on the fly, with out knots. |
 |
Step 1: Tie the bungee to the one hiking
strap. |
 |
Step 2: Thread the bungee through the eye
strap on the daggerboard trunk, then through the rubber tube and
around the trunk, and finally back through the eye strap. |
 |
Step 3: Dead end the bungee to the opposite
hiking strap with a bowline. |
 |
Step 4: Using the short piece of 3 mm line,
tie a bowline around the bungee just in front of the rubber tube. |
 |
Step 5: Pass the line through the open
space between the daggerboard well and the midship frame, then dead
end the line onto the bungee. |
