I was reminded last night how important planning ahead for riggings, when working on my Encore Olympia. I had planned ahead for most of the rigging, but neglected to figure out termination for the mainmast forestays. Turns out they terminate on the boat deck right below a pair of boats. The boats virtually touch, so it will be almost impossible to drill a hole and mount an eye at that point. I may have to break loose one or both of those boats. Sure wish I had noticed those stays on the instructions. But then, even if I had put in the eye, I am afraid I would not have been able to thread line through it anyway with the boats in place. Of coarse, Revell and Encore didn't figure that out either, calling for the installation of the boats many steps ahead of the rigging. At least these are inboard boats not fitted with tackle.
A word to the wise- read ahead and always figure out how and where you will terminate every line.
