rigging Mac 26 (1993)

[AbuSiyam]

Many robs on the mast, it is not easy to rise the main sail and the jib from up there.
I am planing to make the modification so i do not need to jump up there for rigging.
Any suggestions?
Any one did this and he can suggest me what to do and what items I need to order.
Thank you

Apologies... not quite sure what you're asking. Is your problem that the sails are too hard (difficult) to raise or is your question about the fact that you have to climb onto the boat's deck to raise the sails (and leave the cockpit)?

Ya sounds to me like he wants to run some lines to the cockpit? Don't get the 'robs' on the mast? maybe rubbing on the mast?

Hi AbuSiyam--

For the jib, I think you want a "roller furling jib".

For the mainsail " sail slugs" will help, and " lines led aft " with the lines.

The quotes (" ") above are the words to use to search for what you want. If you search old forums on this website many people have made these modifications before. They might give more details here too, and there are different solutions for different boats.

Thank you all for your replies.
First of all sorry for my sailing grammar and am happy that always there is some one who is trying to help.
Yes I want to bring all the lines to the kokpit to avoid jumping all the way to the main mast to adjust the lines I mean to rise the main sail and the jib.
Thank you

I see, for the JIB:

consider this : roller fuler

Would this be something you would like to do ?

also , you can extend rope to cockpit .. look at the mac 26x - it has this already, as you use the winch to put the sail up sometimes.

This is how it looks like
