I have a 1974 Vanguard 470 that i have been sailing for a few years in Lake Ontario NY, but im looking to do some restoration on it. it is missing several boots pulleys and other odds and ends that previous owners switched out. so there are a few things i need to know
1. is there any official rigging diagrams that i can use to check my rigging and see how cables are run (best one i could find was in German and not very descriptive)?
2. are there any good websites i can go to to get stuff like pulleys, spinnaker poll, etc?
3. does anyone know of any 470 regattas, fleets, or clubs in NY that i may be able to go to for some help with this aswell?
i do have some photos of the boat but it is in a bit rough shape, none really showing the inside. it was "restored" once when the hull got a hole in it and the sailing club that owned it in the 90's didn't do it any justice. it was left outside uncovered for about 22 years without touching the water.
any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated
