<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Forestay, backstay and upper shrouds should be
1/4 inch. Lower shrouds 3/16 inch. Go up one size for all wires if using SS #316
because it is weaker than SS #304.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Always use 1 x 19 for rigging. 7 x 19 wire
is used when flexibility is required such as a wire halyard which has to run
around a sheave, like a main wire halyard or wires used in steering
systems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Normally use 304 SS which is stronger than 316
SS. But If you will be cruising in the tropics 316 is recommended because it
resist better to rust in that environment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Swage fittings can do. But for superior
strength, go for swageless fittings such as Sta-Lok or Norseman. They are
re-usable and don't require a machine to attach the studs to the wire, you can
do it yourself, they don't weaken the wire at the attachment point. Both brands
are recognized by Lloyd's Shipping.</FONT></DIV>
