![]() My boat uses lashing instead of a turnbuckle on the forestay. It's time to replace the standing rigging and I'm wondering if theres a better connection than the current:
1x19 wire (3/16") -to- Aircraft eye (5/16" hole) -to- Bow shackle (5/16" pin) -to- Hi-mod lashing -to- Stem fitting The Precourt deadeyes look nice, but I haven't found one which will mate directly to a 1x19 wire terminal. Any suggestions? The current setup looks less than ideal, but it has held for many ocean miles. I should mention that the boat is a Mini Transat 6.50, thus the replacing of turnbuckles with lashing to save weight. More competative boats are using PBO instead of wire, but that's not in my budget. Thanks. |
