So, what does anyone think the final cost of changing from a standard backstay to a split backstay with an 8:1 purchase? I'm not going to swedge the fittings I'd plan on having that done.
Bigger question, did boats ordered with split backstays get beefed up in the corners to accept the tangs? TomC Kiona '74 West River, Md. 2008 GOB regatta Bound!
