A character on my dock did this to his Capri 25 to get a deeper angle on his whisker pole. I would not do it. If you broke your headstay, the forward lower MIGHT keep the mast up. Tell your rigger to put it back the way Catalina designed it. Don, #6293, Niceville, FL

I am having the shrouds change on my boat (....along with a great deal of other work, Boat fell off its stanchions this past March) and while the marina was setting up the new shrouds, he placed the lower forward shroud at the same spot as the upper shroud. He now had the forward lower and the center upper on the same spot where I thought the upper should be alone, and the stern lower in the correct spot. I questioned him on this and he said that the center was designed to take the forward lower shroud and the center shroud and the stern lower shroud stands alone. I always though that all three had their on spot for hook-up. Am I wrong? The marina guy seemed to be sure of his answer and mentioned that he has done this hook-up on several Catalina 27's before. I hope this explanation makes sense with all the upper and lower words used!!! Thanks Andy Slow "MO" tion #6038 Nyack, NY the world a better place one message at a time.
