Lowers

[DomJ378]

Hi, looking for abit of advice. I am rigging 3308 and having never sailed a 12 before or a boat with lowers, I just want to confirm they are in the right place or if I need to adjust the position. I've attached a couple of photos showing how I think they were on the boat before I purchased it, but after reading a few threads on the forum I'm not sure if this is correct.

Thanks

Hi,


The lowers job is to counteract the force of the kicker pushing the boom towards the mast so they need to be attached to the mast at goose-neck level.
You will need very strong rope and a lot of purchase in the control line as the loads can be huge (I use 4mm D12 rope and 24 or 32 to 1 purchase)
