Dave has Stemball Fittings on his shrouds, not T-Ball fittings. He probably has a t-Ball Fitting on his Baby Stay (and on his running Back & Check Stays if he has them) but that's about it. T-Ball fittings need the rubber plugs, Stemballs don't. A reference here: http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/Spa

Hi Dave, Aren’t there suppose to be a plastic gasket/spacer thingy that fills the hole and keeps the socket head down in the slot? Hum - I keep saying talk to your rigger. . . 2cents, Lee On Aug 23, 2015, at 4:46 AM, davepulaski via CnC-List wrote: > UPDATE: > > Boy am I glad I asked you

UPDATE: Boy am I glad I asked you guys about this!  I went up the mast yesterday - the toggles on these two shrouds were not pulled all the way down & seated in their sockets, thus causing the unfair lead out of the mast.   I hate to think what might have happened if I loaded up the rig and tri

I stand corrected. Looking at it today i checked and my lower shrouds are straight. Its my check stays that are bent and that's because i move them forward on the toe rail. Josh On Aug 14, 2015 3:51 PM, "Josh Muckley" wrote: > Looks like mine. > > I wouldn't hesitate to disconnect them. Count

Maybe I'm careless but i wouldn't hesitate to go up with those 2 shrouds missing. If you wanted minimize the risk do one at a time and go up on the side opposite of the remaining shroud. I have always chalked that bend in the rod up to the fact that those shrouds have to make a more acute interfa

Something's up with the ball and socket. They should be perfectly straight. The bend is very slight that should not be a problem. It'll straighten right up once you free up the joint and put some tension on it. Should be fine with loosening them up. Just to be on safe side you might want
