Hi Sigma 33 enthusiasts, I considering to buy a Sigma 33. During the first look it turned out, that the keel bolts have been changed about 6 years ago, but not the two most forward once. Therefore I would like to place a question about changing these particular keel bolts (blow the head compartment). Has somebody a rough idea about the effort to change the forward two keel bolts? These two bolts in the head area are looking quite rusty. Greetings Amalphi.

Someone was asking for the engine manual for the Volvo 2002 on the Facebook group. I found these on-line somewhere which may be of use

Whilst the original Sigma mast and rigging setup guide was written for an earlier generation of sails, such that I'm slightly surprised not to see mentions of baggywrinkles and ratlines, I've found only one more recent guide for rig setup measurements and tensions. I do have a copy of Illustrated Sail & Rig Tuning by Dedham, but am hoping that some class members can share their boat setups here and any comments they have - e.g. you may be primarily set up for light winds, or for pointing. Whilst I understand that these are often boat secrets, I don't think any changes we make will lead to us troubling you on the podium, and it would be really helpful to share them. Many thanks! Russell.
