[Public-list] masthead toggles for OLD masthead

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Dudley,

This toggle will not fit the original mast head nor do I know of any that
will fit that unit. One of the main reasons I went to a new mast head was
when installing the Pro Furl, I did not like the way this unit was installed
on the current mast head. You may want to look at a short link plate at the
top and
install a toggle on the plate. This may require you to experiment a little
to find a solution. 

Also all mast heads should have toggles on the top and bottom of the fore
stay since there isn't any movement for the lateral stresses exhibited in
heavy conditions.

Stephen

This is really a question for Stephen Souza, but thought others could
benefit ....

Sorry to bother you on a subject that you probably have had enough of ---- I
did not participate in
the group buy of the new masthead, and hence didn't pay a great amount of
attention to the necessity
for a "custom toggle(s).  I am hoping that whatever solution you came up
with for the new masthead,
that it will work on an existing masthead, (hull 297).

Here is the problem:  I had an old CDI furler that did not require a toggle
at masthead.  I am
replacing it with a Schaefer 1100 series, (1/4"wire, 1/2 pins)  which does
require a masthead
toggle.  The problem is that my opening at the masthead for the forestay is
7/16"  -- this is too
narrow for the standard 1/2"(pin) eye jaw toggle.  Would the custom
toggle(s) for the new masthead
cure my problem?

Thanks much
Dudley Baker
