[Alberg30] RE:movable staysail stay

[sousa, stephen]

Gord,

I would suggest that you place a sleeve in the mast which the 5/16 bolt ties
into, this will stop any compression of the mast when tightening the bolt.
This material will compress all though you think that the thickness of the
material will handle the 5/16 bolt with washers, it will not.

I just installed a bail on the boom for a vang which was sleeved and chafe
plates installed prior to assembly.

Hi gang,

I'm looking at doing the same thing.  My slant on the idea is to combine the
spin. pole topping lift with a stays'l halyard. The way I'm going to do this
is as follows:

- attach a vang type u-shaped bail to the mast with a 5/16" through bolt
about 2' above the spreaders.
- hang a beefy block on it. (I want this as high as possible in order to
have a stays'l with a usefull size and a luff as long as possible for up
wind work.  Any higher above the top of the after lower stays and I would
have to start thinking about running backstays& chainplates for them)
- run 3/8" prestretched halyard line back to a rope clutch & winch on Stbd
cabin top.
- have a 1/4" 7x19 wire luff rope built into my high clewed staysail
- bolt a mighty pad eye in the foredeck with another pad eye on the inside
on top of a backing plate
- bolt a third pad eye to a block glassed to the inside of the bow & run a
wire pendant to it from the underside of the deck

My logic is:  I want a stays'l to use in heavy weather but do not want to
have to deal with the pain of trying to drag the genny around it every time
I tack in the 99% of the time I do not need the stays'l.
