[alberg30] masthead

[John Birch]

Peter,

In 25 words or less, you are right. Nicro pressing of the shrouds is, well crap, suggest you either get swaged fittings, or better Norseman's or Staloc fittings and do the job properly. By this point, the
shrouds likely should be changed too. Match the clevis pin to the hole size.

Bolts????? Yikes, no way!

Cheers,

John

I looked at my own recently through binoculars. The upper shrouds were run through holes in tangs attached to the mast, folded over and clamped with Nicopress fittings. The backstay was folded over a bolt through the masthead fitting and again clamped to itself with a Nicopress.I'm no expert on rigging but this seems unusual.
