Hi Rick, I do not have a page on the M17 rigging (not until you do yours and send photos - lots of them!). However, John and Jana with Bella M15 have created a cross sheeting and were kind enough to send photos and the description. Check it out and see if you can use any of this info.

I used to work with a Jon Davies at AAMCO in Santa Clara, California some 20 plus years ago. Used to call him JD. Could not be so small a world?
