Hugh, thank you. I hope that it was not too inconvenient for you to go to
the boat.

Hi Bill,

 

Just got back from our boat.  The pins for the forestay and back stay are
both 1/2" X 1 1/4" (length not including the head of the pin).  The main
upper shrouds on our boat were installed with a swaged eye over a thimble at
the top of the mast.  The swaged loop was formed through a hole in an
aluminum tang bolted to the top of the mast.  That hole is 1/2" in diameter
and the tangs are 3/16" thick.  The thimble carries the load on the lower
edge of the hole.  The fore and aft lowers are pinned with 3/8" X 1" (length
not inluding the head of the pin) stainless pins through a 3/16" metal
triangle that swivles on another 3/16" tang bolted to the mast in
conjunction with the spreader bases.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

 

Hugh
