Title: Forestay length
Post by: Dulcinea on February 12, 2013, 03:46:55 PM

I couldn't make it out from the sail plan posted on this site, but does anyone know the correct forestay length?  I imagine it may have varied slightly over the years.  My boat is a '78.
Thanks,
Dulcinea

Sailboatdata.com shows an "estimated" forestay length of 43.27 feet :

Mine's off the boat, but I haven't measured it yet.  It's still at the boatyard with the furler on it.

Thanks Ed.  Mine is in the same condition.
