Wooden Enterprise No 3456

[tidclacy]

Have just acquired the above. She has been in a garage for the last forty years and needs a bit of TLC.

I have no knowledge of how to rig an enterprise and wondered what advice is available for restoration and rigging.

Sorry 3546

Class association website with have the class rules, which define a lot of the rigging.
If you want to keep it original, the CVDRA might be helpful.

Where on the East Coast are you? There's quite likely to be a club nearby where there are folk with experience of Ents who will be able to help.

Plenty of info and experience at the CVRDA

I restored 3761 a few years ago. There's not much to say about the rigging, it's about as simple as it gets. Restoration is also fairly straight forward but if you have any specific questions you should ask on CVRDA.

Thanks all for the hints and tips

Or ask specific questions on here. Lots of people will have sailed Entreprises in the past - even if not quite as old sail number as this one perhaps

Pah! I used to race 1057 "Lucky Seven" - admittedly almost 60 years ago

Mine were in the 15,000 and 19,000 range - but still over 40 years ago
