Sun Odyssey 40 Standing Rigging Dimensions

[touchngo]

Anyone with an SO40 able to confirm if the standing rigging dimensions for the stock zSpars Z601 section as specified in the Owners Manual (eg 2 x Cap Shrouds @ 8mm x 15.400 Mtrs) include the rigging screws or not?

My boats in Turkey and although I know that I have the stock mast etc... I have been unable to obtain the definitive measurements!

Appreciate any feedback others may have to offer.

Cheers, PT.

Just to answer my own question, got the attached from Jeanneau. It is for the 1998 spec'd boat, but was in response to my query with my 2001 Hull #. (For those who don't want to open a PDF document, the main details are as follows;)

For the stock zSpars Z601 section, Code 973952 and Ref Z 10428;
2 x Cap Shrouds @ 8mm x 15.400 Mtrs
2 x Intermediates @ 7mm x 10.470 Mtrs
2 x Fwd Lowers @ 7mm x 5.480 Mtrs
2 x Aft Lowers @ 10mm x 5.540 Mtrs
1 x Forestay @ 10mm x 15.630 Mtrs
1 x Upper Backstay @ 8mm x 11.000 Mtrs
2 x Lower Backstay @ 7mm x 5.760 Mtrs

These lengths include the Rigging Screws, set to 1/3rd of closed length (ie, you can tighten or loosen if necessary).

Hope this is of help to someone (it was a right PITA to get this info when you can't just pop down to the boat and run a tape measure across things).

Time will tell if I've cocked it all up!

Cheers, PT.

PT,

Thanks for obtaining this. We're trying to get a deal done to acquire a 2000 SO40. These dimensions will be helpful as I prepare the spreadsheet to solve the rig tensions that can't be measured based on the ones that can.

Knew it was too easy.

Apparently there are two clevis pin sizes that the standing rigging could be fitted with. Found a SO40 at QAB in Plymouth (Thank you Simon at Liberty Yachts). All Clevis pins are 12mm EXCEPT the aft lowers, which are 16mm (although the ones i measured were more like 14mm).

Hope it all fits!
