[Public-List] re. standing rigging

[Ryan Martin via Public-List]

 On reverie US21 there was a crack under the pin hole for the forestay I thru bolted two aluminum plates both sides of the casting,   3/8" thick cut to shape with 5/16" bolts and used two 1/2" shoulder bolts instead of pins. A 1/2" toggle was fitted with a little bit of hand file work.I was not worried about the loss of metal because much more was added with the plates.The crack was there I believe from not being toggled due to forestay sag. Hi-mod fittings are very easy to work with.
