J88 OWNER MANUAL 11
The J88 is equipped with Hall Rigging provided 5/32” 1 x 19 SS wire lifelines. To assemble the system:

Attach jaw to bow rail termination points port and starboard.

Remove threaded eye from swage fitting and thread through stanchions.

Thread through aft stanchion and through optional lifeline pad if so equipped.

Secure threaded eyes to lifelines.

Lash to stern rail with provided lashing lines.

Attach and lash ends of stern gates between stern rails across transom.
Your lifelines and lashings should be checked for wear as part of a regular boat maintenance program.
Potential chafe areas are stanchion pass-throughs and lashing points. Also remember to rinse lifelines
whenever you rinse your boat and deck hardware, as sharp salt crystals deposited when sea water dries
can be a source of corrosion.
Flush Skylight Ventilation Hatch : is made of extruded anodized aluminum and scratch-resistant acrylic
cover. The hatch comes equipped with 180 degree articulation. Care should be taken when opening the
hatch to prevent the lid from slamming onto the deck.
Fixed Acrylic Portlights are pre-installed and sealed. Owners should take great care not to use any
abrasive or harsh cleaners on these ports. Specific cleaning instructions from the manufacturer are included
in the appendix.
Optional Opening Ports : are of painted aluminum frames with scratch-resistant acrylic and arrive “ready-
to-use”.
DO NOT PERMIT ACETONE OR OTHER HARSH CLEANSERS TO GET ON PORTS OR HATCHES
AS THEY MAY DAMAGE THE FINISH & CLARITY OF SOME DECK HARDWARE.
Deckhouse Handrails: Stainless handrails are standard for secure maneuvering on deck and ease of
maintenance.
Winches: Standard winches are aluminum self-tailing models. The location of these winches facilitates
sailing shorthanded. Each is geared to match the load requirements of the specific task.
Rudder, Tiller and Steering Hardware
J/88 rudder is molded with E-glass & VE resin with an epoxy foam core. The skins include triaxial glass
fabric with several unidirectional supporting layers. There is additional reinforcement and/or blocking at all
hardware penetrations as well as along the leading and trailing edges and the rudder head. The trailing
edge is very narrow and as such is a damage prone area when handled poorly. Owners should use great
care when removing and installing the rudder to avoid trailing edge damage.
The tiller is a molded gelcoat and E-glass curved tiller with an extendable offshore tiller extension. This is
attached to the top of the rudder and articulates. Care should be taken not to stress the tiller by placing
unnecessary weight on top of the forward end while sailing as this could lead to gelcoat cracks and other
issues where it attaches to the rudder.
The rudder hardware includes two SS rudder straps bolted to the rudder, two SS transom mounted
gudgeons and two SS rudder pins. Be sure to install the retaining rings below each gudgeon once the
pins are installed.
