This is another Traditional Mast question so the IMF crew can skip it. Can
someone send me a picture of how their backstay attaches to the masthead?
In a previous post, I explained that my backstays are actually not double,
but essentially a single wire with a thimble that creates a bight and is
attached to an adjuster. Not sure if this is how it originally came from
the factory or a previous owner's mod.

That leads to my next question. I've tried to contact Charles Gabriel via
the website and direct through gmail, but with no success. I want to order
a backstay assembly and the traveler, but my emails have gone unanswered.
My certificate of support doesn't seem to be paying off for me. I would
like to support GB if I can.

Thanks for any assistance on both matters.
