[Rhodes22-list] Forestay Details - 1984 R22 With Original Furler

[Michael D. Weisner]

11 to 12 feet can't be correct for the forestay.  That must be a lower
(baby) stay.  The forestay is about 30' since the mast is 27', I would
guess.

Did this last summer.
The measured length of the stays from pin to threaded rod is 11' 8". The
West Marine part number is 152365 which is a 1/8X1/4 swage open body
turnbuckle.
This comes as a unit and includes the swage stud, body, threaded t-bolt
toggle, clevis and cotter pins.
