I have had new standing rigging shipped to Guatemala from Seco South who originally supplied the standing rigging for Island Packet. As there were issues with the rigging as far as terminals and lengths, I was wondering who to currently contact with the original specifications for this boat, an IP 40, hull no. 120. Is there a contact number for the archival records?

Mcduck, my experience with the factory in looking for "boat specific", or even "model specific" info was not encouraging. I asked the factory for info about why my IP32 had been plumbed with a specific type of hose in one area, and the only reply I could get amounted to "We were building boats so fast back then, that that's probably the hose that was laying close by at the time. I don't think that there was really any specification for that hose."

That said, Seco South seemed to have a good grasp of the rigging requirements for my boat, when I ordered from them a couple of years ago.

I hope your project works out well.

Charlie:

To obtain specific information and records about our boats you need to email Jerry Swartz at the Seaward Yachts / IPY factory. Jerry manages the owner files and he may have information you are looking for on your model, year and specs. To email Jerry, use the CONTACTS menu link, then click on his name and use the secure web form there.
