Rigging Guides

Ben Harris, a former Product Designer at Allen Brothers, has put together a comprehensive fittings guide based on his hardware fitout of GBR 409 'Juliet'. 

Allen Brothers are an Essex-based, family-owned company specializing in high-performance marine hardware. With over 60 years of experience, they design, manufacture, and assemble all products in-house at their factory in Southminster, focusing on innovative dinghy hardware such as blocks, cleats, rings and more!

A good starting point for rope specifications and length, both for the Hurricane 5.9 SX as well as the the Classic configuration and other generic ropes / rigging. Please note that this is a guide and each boat will be set up slightly differently to suit tastes and preferences.
