Thistle 2006 Midwinter's East Rigging
These shots are from a variety of boats at 2006 Midwinter’s East. Sometimes a boat number will be in the sequence either before or after shots for any given boat but unfortunately I was not at all that consistent but it might help identify some of thepictures. If you want to help other thistlers and can provide information about any of these pictures send me some descriptive text about any given photo by e-mail and I will update the album.

Another Jib sheeting system similar to the one I have on my rigging page though I use a small block in place of the bull's eye and have a fairlead over the cleat so that it can be cleated when not in direct line with the clear.
