Steve:
As long as the lower shroud is attached, you won't need the halyard
attached to the toe rail but it can't hurt.
Also, put a tube over the 'baby stay' up front. Your sail will take
more of a beating on this one than your shrouds. I also have the wire
on my baby stay covered in plastic as well.

Steve,
Wouldn't bother with the halyard. You could slit the tube, slide it
over the wire, lower it and tape it. Or just tape the pins without tubes.

I need to put those plastic tubes over my turnbuckles and the
stick is up. I'm pretty sure I can do this but need
confirmation/guidance from the list.
What's the safest way to go about this? My boat has one set of
outer shrouds and one set of inner. I'll be putting the covers on
the outer shroud turnbuckles only.
Should I use a halyard as backup?
I figure loosen tension on outer shrouds evenly. Put tension on
halyard (fixed to toe rail) and release that side's shroud. Put
cover on, loosely re-attach turnbuckle and do over again on the
other side. Once done tension the shrouds properly. Is this right?
I've got a brand new genoa and I'de like to protect it best I can.
Thanks
