| 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. |
