[Public-list] Masthead Toggles

[Christos Katehis]

Stephen and all,

Today I stepped the mast and found the forestay 6 inches shorter without the new toggle, so I used the aft most pin on the bow plate with only a few turns on the turnbuckle to keep the stay on. 

The 1/2 hole in the new mast head seems to be 1/4 inch too high for these toggles. If the hole was 1/4 lower, these toggles would fit perfectly. Which causes me to think that probably there could of been an error in the shop.

Whatever the case I'm sure we will find something.
