Owner`s manual

The deck and cockpit is a single-unit fibreglass moulding surfaced with gelcoat. The deck and

horizontal section is moulded in a sandwich of endgrain balsa to give additional stiffness. A

non-skid finish is moulded into the working areas of the deck.

5.4 STEERING AND RUDDER

The yacht is fitted with pedestal steering and wheel, a radial driver turned by the wheel through

a cable system, clamped to the rudder post and through bolted. See manufacturer's

maintenance instructions and Sections 13.10 under Maintenance

The stainless rudder stock is a two-point attachment system. It is housed in a bearing gland

which is through bolted to a mounting flange integral with the hull laminate The lower end of the

stock is supported by a lower bearing through bolted to the skeg.

5.5 BALLAST

The keel of your CS Yacht is lead alloyed with antimony for added strength and cast to close

tolerances.

The keel is through-bolted with oversize 316 stainless steel bolts that have been cast into the

lead. The tensile strength of these bolts is greater than 7,000 lbs. Each of the 12 bolts is

capable of carrying the keel by itself. Eight of the 12 bolts are double-lugged. These bolts are

also embedded at various depths in the lead keel itself. (See dwg. No. 9)

6. RIGGING

6.1 General

It is important to understand the principles involved in order to do an effective job of mast tuning.

Terms and Definitions

Standing rigging refers to fixed lengths of stainless steel wire or rod supporting the mast. If they

offer fore and aft support, they are called forestay and backstay. If the support is principally

transverse they are called shrouds. (See also Detail No. 3, Mast and Rigging Layout, and

Tables No. 4,5,6 and 7)

6.2 Spars

The mast on your CS .36 is supported by three sets of shrouds. Those running from the

masthead to deck are known as upper or cap shrouds.

Intermediate shrouds, fixed at the inner end of the upper shrouds, run through the tip of the

lower spreaders to the chainplates.

Two sets of lower shrouds are fitted, known as forward and aft lowers. Lower shrouds, led to

chainplates forward and aft of the mast centreline, provide some fore and aft support.

To reduce the large tensile forces in the shrouds and compressive load in the mast, the upper
