Hi
I have a rotostay furler fitted to Stromboli & today it looks as if the forestay at the top may have broken.
I am planning to go up the mast next weekend to investigate, & am expecting to have to remove the the entire system for replace/repair.
I was thinking in the interim fitting a standard forestay, but I am not sure what size to order. Would anyone have the dimension to hand?
I was hoping to get one made up to take with me, rather than have several trips back and forth measuring.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian
Have a look at web site "Sailboatdata.com/ parker27

Hi Peter

Thank you for your reply.

I have spoken to a rigger and they think the specs from sailboatdata might not be accurate enough for a forestay.

So I am going to get the tape mesure out 😀, might take a bit longer but probably better in the long run.

Thank you again for your time in replying.

Cheers
