Greetings,

We are planning to replace our standing rigging this fall and I'm trying to
figure out what type of upper fitting is needed for the shrouds. The
owner's manual (1980 C&C 25 mkII) simply says "T-ball" for the forestay and
upper/lower shrouds. Looking around, it appears there are a number of
variants out there.

Assuming that T-ball and T-bar are the same in this case (please correct me
if I'm wrong on this point), I'm thinking they would be of the "old style"
since it is a 1980 model. Does anyone happen to know what sort of fittings
we'll need for the upper ends? We'll be ordering (local riggers seem to be
unavailable and the only estimate I got was $6,000), which leaves us on the
hook for figuring out the details.

We're planning on sending a GoPro up to take some pictures and look around
at things later this week, but we really don't know what to look for (any
identifying characteristics?). Step ladders make me nervous, so I'm happy
to let the camera make the first ascent.

Thank You!
