[Rhodes22-list] Forestay adjuster at masthead

[James Cross]

Hello, folks:

Can someone please tell me the length of the forestay adjuster at the
masthead (and what kind of genoa furler you have and whether your boat has
IMF?    I need the center-to-center dimension of the outermost holes.

Thanks in advance to our experts!


Kind regards,


James Cross
