Factory Samson LS running-rigging schedule
Spar manufacturerNot stated in source manual
The factory schedule states that all rope running rigging is Samson LS but does not identify the spar manufacturer. It lists 9/16 in red/green reefing lines without a length, so no reefing-line builder preset is offered. Island Packet specifications can change during a model's production life.
