THANK YOU FOR DEMONSTRATING YOUR METHOD !

I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I have a gaff-rigged Peep Hen and need to do this. This was a big help.

Thanks for the nice video! I'm in the process of refurbishing a Mud Hen, which is basically the same rig is yours. Much of my work over the past few weeks has been undoing things that previous owners have done or installed incorrectly. I had a gaffrig a number of years ago with a wooden mass that I built myself. But I've never had one like this with a tabernacle. If I keep the boat I will most likely replace all the spars with wooden ones.

Wow, this is wonderful! I am SO grateful for all your Bay hen videos, they are amazing!! I have been wanting a small trailer sailer but dreading the rigging when launching. I also LOVE the classic nostalgia of cat boats. Question: I assume that you leave the sail laced when you are going out often and only take it all the way off for the winter? So there's no lacing of the sail normally? The Bay Hen I am looking at just seems to have a cover bungee'd over the sail to protect it from the sun.

Finally, really needed to see this. As a new Bey Hen 21 owner, this video was really helpful to understand rigging. I bought mine with a sail that could only be used as an example for the canvas -maker as it is to torn up to be repaired. Would love to see your bildge boards in the next how to video. Also, does a Bey Hen 21 need a bottom paint if only trailer sailing? Im still trying to find a painter but I only plan of fresh water sailing but where I live in central FL, all the boatyards wanna just bottom paint.

wow, when i saw this what have i been doing....... Marconm rig 23' ww 30' mast and all the gin poles mast stays ....was a nightmare.. ! i am heading to gaff rig............

I found a boat just like this one it's on a boat just like this 1 and I'm wondering what is a what is a fair price for a boat in this condition?

Thank you for sharing. I'm curious about your aluminum mast and and boom. What are the lengths, diameter and wall thickness?

I wish my WWP 19 was that easy to rig. The fastest I was able to rig her single handed was 26 minutes.
