This Bowman 36 page brings the main rigging-planning information together so an owner can move from an early estimate to a checked specification. The furler section is useful for checking whether the existing forestay system should be retained, replaced or considered alongside a wider furling upgrade. Even apparently standard production boats can acquire different fittings over time, so photographs and measurements from the current rig are more useful than relying on the model name alone. Before manufacture, confirm every stay’s material and diameter, finished length, upper and lower terminal type, pin size, rigging-screw thread and the complete forestay or furler interface.
