Zig Zag is a 1975 Pearson 39 Yawl, Hull Number 68 of 75 sisterships. Of these, only about
15 were yawls. The remaining boats are sloops. I bought the boat in 2005 and have
replaced the standing and running rigging, the interior and exterior cushions, the sails and
winches, and have added a matching dodger and bimini top..The new sails include a new
Doyle 150% roller furling Genoa on new Schaefer roller furling gear and a new Doyle
"Stack Pack" self furling mainsail. I had the relatively new 130% Genoa and the working
and storm Jibs converted to fit the Schaefer gear. All lines are led to the cockpit and new
winches include Lewmar 2-speed self tailing primaries as well as Lewmar self tailers for
the main and genoa halyards and the mainsheet. The mainsail was converted to
mid-boom sheeting so a bimini that attaches to the dodger could be fabricated and a solid
boom vang was added.
