Factory owner’s-manual schedule
Spar manufacturerNot stated in source manual
The owner’s manual identifies these as the Island Packet 38 running-rigging specifications. The staysail equipment applies only to cutter-rigged boats. The manual notes that supplied halyards were low-stretch Dacron; it does not identify the spar manufacturer or the construction of the remaining rope lines.
