Hello,
Distribution of load among the stays is what drives rigging sizes. It sounds like your rig was spec'd (I won't say designed) when it wasn't as clear how contemporary rigs distribute loads. What you have is more suited to gaff and early Bermudian, unless of course you have a fractional rig. Lots of variables, so I would start with a look at the relevant material in the "Apprentice", or Larsson & Eliasson. The first question of rigging is: What is the load?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
