Finally picked up a used JY15 sloop. Now I'm on to finding the right info regarding standing and running rigging like the lengths, diameters, materials, that kind of thing. Also curious if you have a favorite website for ordering replacement parts. Appreciate any tips too. :)
 
Congrats on the JY15! For rigging info, you can check the class association or manufacturer specs is a great start.

for parts, places like West Marine have good options. Also, local sailing shops or marine supply stores might be able to order parts for you if they don't stock them. hope this helps!
 
This is really good advice. When your check engine light starts flashing, it usually means there's a misfire happening, and overlooking it could end up damaging your catalytic converter. If you know your way around cars, using an OBD reader to pull up any codes is a smart move. But if that's not your thing, the safest option is to take your car to a dealer or a trusted mechanic. It's definitely better to be cautious than to regret it later

For replacement parts, definitely check out The Dinghy Shop, Sound Boatworks, and Nickels Boat Works. They are all well known suppliers for JY15 parts, from hardware to lines to sails
I got a tip that you might need, when replacing running rigging, consider upgrading to modern, low stretch lines (like Dyneema core for halyards) if you're looking for a performance boost. It makes a noticeable difference!
