I am a new owner of a Midship 25 hull # 40. It is rigged as a sloop.
My previous sailboat experience is owning a Venture 17. While many might consider the Midship a small boat, it seems like a battleship to me.
Here are some things that I need Information on. Any help from experienced owners would be greatly appreciated.
1. All of my running rigging is missing. I need to know the size of lines and approximate amount I need to buy.
a. jibsheet and mainsheet
b. halyards
c. boomlift
d. boomvang
2. A simple sketch of how to rig the mainsheet would be most helpful.
3. Detailed instruction on stepping the mast (please assume that I know nothing)
4. I have the Vire 7 engine. It was in good running condition when it was set up seven years ago. ( The boat was stored indoors ) The engine turns freely and has compression. Starting procedure is needed.
5. My rudder is fire damaged and will have to be rebuilt. Has anyone designed a breakaway rudder?
I need any of the files in the hidden section that I can get. I have paid the lifetime fee but so far have been unable to download the files. If anyone has these files saved and can make them available it would be a great help to me. My e-mail is
