Uograded head stay

Post by NathansWay »

Hello all,
Ive recently bought a new set of rigging for my 26M which includes the thicker head stay for the CDI furler.
I noticed where it mounts at the top of the mast is a loop which is different to the current stay. I was wondering if I could get a couple of pics of how its meant to be fixed (at the top and the bottom) to make sure Im doing it correctly. Thanks :)

Could you post a pic of the connection you are working with? There are probably a lot of different connections possible. It will help you get better (more relevant) feedback for your specific case. My M did not come with a CDI Furler, so I dont know if my upper connection would help you. But, I will gladly take a pic of it if your hardware is the same as mine.
