New to sailing. Had fun the first time out so I went and bought a Capri 14.2. I think I have most everything figure out but I'm caught up on the how my forestay and jib. Not sure if it's set up properly.

If anyone in the Norfolk/VA beach area wants to have some beers and show me what I'm missing I'd appreciate it.
 
We are out here but not in Va. Come to Ct and I will explain how I rigged mine!
Sorry no one in your area. Post a pic we will analysis

Hey Wayne,

My cousin is in Richmond and I've already thought of bringing it out that way. Maybe we could meet up for a beer and you can give my boat a look over let me know if I'm missing anything.

I think I have it figured out. I'll take pics and maybe y'all can tell me if I got it right. Basically there was only a shackle on the bow of the boat and no other attachements with the boat for the forstay and jib. I bought this for the forestay

Also I got the boat without a mainsail. My uncle sent me an extra sail he had that seems to be perfect but a little taller than needed. Haveing the boom sit lower shouldn't have ill effects other than I'll need to duck further while tacking, correct.
