Rafael, Congratulations on your new boat purchase. I bet Tony will take ya up on that cold one! Take a close look at my pictures on the Yahoo site,,,should get...
I dont drink beer, actually. I still have yet to get mine in the water since I got it. You are still most welcome to stop in, though. (no mast or sail or...
I think I got the rigging figured out. There are some small differences from Vince's boat though. Sorry That I don't know the technical names. I learned them...
I rigged the boat today and it looks pretty decent. Just to be on the safe side I will buy all new blocks and lines. I was wondering if you guys know of a good...
There is a boat store in Corona that I got my back drain plug from. I plan to get an electric trolling motor for it eventually and a sunshade of some kind. ......
Rafael, ... there to hold the boom up when the main sail is down. That line sounds like the Topping Lift recommended by Vince. <see the attached diagram> ... ...
Vince, My bad, reading your email again with more time I saw the topping lift in there. Sorry, but I still have a long way to go with technical names in...
The topping lift is only a 1/8" dia line,,,something cheap from the hardware store. It only need to support the weight of the boom once the sail is lowered....
First of all I wanted to thank all you guys for being so patient and helpful with me. Looks like the camaraderie of the sailing community is worldwide. Here...
Rafael, One thing jumps out at me - flip the gooseneck 180 degrees and clip the shackle to the "tack grommet". <see attached> I think this will help some. ...
Wayne, Thanks for the tip. Here is another picture that is more of a close up of the gooseneck. I did not include on the previous mail because I already new...
Rafael, She's getting there! I noticed the same thing as Wayne, good catch Wayne! See attached,,,, I elaborated on Wayne's picture a bit. Not sure if it makes...
Rafael, Your close-up photo clearly shows I misidentified the downhaul attachment point. What I thought was a solid ring is only the split-ring cotter securing...
Vince, If you pay close attention on this picture you can see the line in there. It is kind of hidden by the mast support. Either that or the line is so dirty...
Mine has no rigging. No mast, no sails, no tiller or keel. Sorry for replying so late. And you are welcome to stop in on the weekend.(it will convert to...
Can you runb me a copy of the booklet? didnt have any with mine.... Tony ... From: Rafael Cruz <garciadacruz@...> Subject: RE: [manta-daysailer] Quick...
Kewl. The store I found is off the 15 freeway by the 91, not too far from there. Store hopping daze! (want to get a cover for mine on my next paycheck) Tony ...
Sorry guys, it is the same that it is already posted. All it is is a hard copy folded in half. I'm attaching it anyway. Maybe the quality on this one is a...
Rafael, Thanks - I was hoping there would be a bit more. How did your driveway sailing adventure turn out once you turned over the gooseneck and got the...
MUCH better quality than the one floating around previously! Vince, maybe it needs to go in the group folder there? Have mine up for sale. lets see how it...
Took her out yesterday for a late afternoon cruise. Couldn't be better. We started we a little breeze but the wind picked up a little on the way back and it...
Rafael, Looking Good ! ... Yup. This boat doesn't use a Cunningham since the gooseneck slides in the mast's luff track. So, you have a downhaul instead. ... ...
Rafael, I nearly forgot, the daggerboard vibration can be from any combination of factors, leading and trailing edge asymmetry, rough surface (one side rougher...
Way to go Rafael !!!! Attaching the tack to the gooseneck is the way to go. It will get you boom up higher also. If you look at the pictures of my boat in the...
Hi- I just am trying to resurrect an old Manta and don't know if anyone has any info including any old manuals - I'd love to see. It's not seen water for at...
Hello Elyza, There is a manual in this group's FILES. Files > Manta Manual It is brief so ask if you find there's something you would like more info about. ...
Last year (October) I became owner of a somewhat dilapidated Manta. Anyway, after some work on the rigging, installing some missing hardware (like a forestay...
