[Alberg30] Broken forestay

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

I agree with the comments re Stalocks. When I redid my rigging, I had the pro do a regular swage at the top and I did the final adjustments using Stalocks at the bottoms. Their easy to do and get even easier after you do a few of them.

  John,

   I installed the ProFurl unit this spring and in the process had to make a new forestay. I would recommend using Sta Lok fittings and purchase a piece of wire (I used one size up from 1/4" I am in my office and don't have the data available) and assembly the unit yourself. It is quite simple to do, my son and I built the ProFurl and rigging within an hour. Just follow the directions in the Sta Lok package.

    I almost forgot.  Along with the broken forestay, it would appear there is damage to the roller furler.  While I have to replace the forestay, the furler could wait.  I have a hanked on drifter and working jib, but no genoa.  Does anyone have an old(cheap) genoa that might get me through the summer.  I don't race so it doesn't have to be in great shape.

      Help, I've broken my forestay.  Can I order a new one from someplace like West Marine by using a standard length.  We have noone in our area of MI that does rigging work.  I have found someone to replace it if I can get one.
