Ps
Hi again,
Just yesterday I saw a new boat with stemball tangs. On the lower aft shrouds, which raked fairly far aft, the wire was severely bent where it exited the swages, because the tangs couldn't articulate sufficiently. This will result in a failure, sooner than later. So check the leads on your boat.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
PPS,
In order to avoid embarassing the manufacturer I won't mention the make of boat, but its initials are Beneteau.
