A friend is buying a Sigma 362 and showed me some pics of the back stay. I need to replace the lower section that connects to the 2 chainplates on the stern. Where can I find the length of that section of wire - from the eye of the chainplate to the eye of the tensioner? I'm 1,000 miles away from the boat.
thanx,
Ed

Hi Paul, I live near Exeter and see you need crew...what's your upper age limit for crew? Any gender preference?

I must go down to the sea again. by: Trevot Lawrence
Great choice. I did my own odyssey, crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean departing Brighton a bit late in 97 in a 27 footer. I spotted you are from Exeter, my own place of birth. so wished to offer my thoughts on anchor tackle. I had a CQR, a Bruce, Fortress as a stern/Kedge with a roll of flat line on the stern rail and a collapsible Fisherman type. 100ft chain, 300ft rode with an eye splice in one end and an additional 10M chain, All of which I was very thankful for at one time or another although I never used the Fisherman but I was still glad I had it. Can never have enough line on a boat and some means of shading the boat both at anchor and under way will be a god send, as will a way of forcing air into the boat and circulating it. All the best for your travels and try not to run out of money :)

Sigma 362 owners by: Thomas
Hallo Paul,
Bought my 1987 Sigma 362 last year. She is a very nice old lady and my crew and I enjoy sailing with this fine boat.
I am interested to get some more information about your retrofit plans and would like to discuss your ideas. So please leave a note under thomas_papke@web.de .
