Subject: Just got a free Santana and need some help/advice
Info: (4719 views) Posted: Monday 6-4-07 05:56:20 PM
I was given a free Santana 22 by someone who needed to free up their slip and I was hoping to find some advice and parts here. She's actually in fairly good condition, but missing some stuff. Could someone please give me some suggestions on line type and length/diameter for the jib sheets, spinnaker sheets/guys, and how to rig the spinnaker gear (tweakers or seperate guys)? Also, there is nothing to cleat the sheets off too, do you suggest getting the bent metal pieces with the cam cleats of figuring out a different way? Another issue is that the rudder bushing feels very stiff, is this a common issue that needs to be fixed of will it loosen with some use and penetrating oil? Lastly, the boat only has a main and jib (not sure it it's OD or PHRF), does anyone have an old spinnaker and pole they might be willing to give away or sell?

Thanks, James Hull #347, "Coyote"
