Subject: Stus-List 30 MK I Forestay Length Hello Listers,Does anybody know the
forestay length of a 30 MK I as it came from the factory, with the rig properly
tuned for 8” of mast rake?By geometry (square root of I squared plus J squared)
I’d expect it to be in the neighborhood of 41’3”. I is 39’ for a 30 MK I, and
J is 13.5’.According to the owner’s manual the forestay cable is 1/4” and the
lower fitting is <quote>1/2” jaw to jaw turnbuckle & toggle</quote>. On mine,
the cable is swaged into an eye fitting on the lower end, which is pinned to a
turnbuckle screw that’s probably 1/2” jaw to jaw (if that’s what’s meant by the
owner’s manual). The screw at the other end of the turnbuckle is identical,
and is pinned to a toggle that’s pinned to the bow stem. Picture at

wondering if this is the standard from-the-factory setup, and what the overall
forestay length is from pin at masthead to pin at bow stem, when the rig is
properly tuned.Thank You,Randy StaffordSV GrenadineC&C 30 MK I #79Ken Caryl,
