Resent by request, forgot to delete Joe's provider's advertisment which
was likely the culprit.
<P>Joe;
<BR>Yes it is 1/4" wire, you can go 9/32" as Yves did - in forstays it
is not a bad idea have a larger dia., depending on your plans. Headstays
usually take the worst shock load and if something's going to give you'd
rather have the mast falling overboard abeam than into the cockpit. Regardless
what you go with, I strongly recommend Norseman or Staloc terminals.
<BR>Cheers,
