Mike,
I'm curious. What did the original turnbuckles look like? These center pin turnbuckles are the only style I can recall ever seeing on rod rigging.

North Sails in Halifax coldwelded new ends on the existing rod rigging for the six shrouds using the system shown in the link above. Essentially is a barrell on end of shroud and on deck and a stud (for lack of better term) screws into these barrells. Is almost the opposite of the open turnbuckle system used on many boats. To adjust a flat head screw driver is inserted in the slot of the barrell on end of the rod and a open wrench turns the stud. Is very simple to adjust and an absolute dream compared to the original system. The boat looks fabulous BTW with its new paint job. Mike Koobalibra Crew C&C 115 59115 Halifax
