Owners considering a re-rig on a Elan GT6 can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. Owners can use the individual sections to compare the core re-rig with optional furler, kicker, winch, rope and mast-or-boom work before requesting a detailed estimate. A previous owner may have changed the furler, turnbuckles or mast hardware without altering the overall rig plan, so those details should be recorded before a new set is ordered. To turn the model guide into a manufacturing specification, measure the existing stays and confirm terminal forms, pin sizes, turnbuckle threads and the exact way the forestay connects to the furler.
