This started afterI replaced the aft lower shroud on the starboard side.I’m suspect that that mast is not vertically plumb. So I’m assuming the Ineed to lengthen the post shrouds and shorten the starboard ones.Just figured I would ask before I go through the exercise since I taped upthe shrouds at the base to prevent the jib sheets from getting hung upthere. Which always seemed to happened while I was solo sailing.Appreciate the wisdom of you that have ‘been there, done that’, got theT-shirt.Thanks,Bob GarrantSail la VieKent Island,MD-- null
