Initially the wire was too small and broke, so I now use stainless wire that is about the diameter of baling wire, if that is meaningful. --Gary Hyde Pullman, WA gmhyde1@mac.com M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

Hello: I am working on my rigging. I notice that the shrouds fit into a vertical grove in the tip of the spreader. How is the spreader attached to the shroud so that the shroud would not pop out of, and off of, the spreader if the shroud were to go slack, or when lowering the mast? Jay
