M_Boats: Re: M_Boats: Questions on M15 rigging – Bent bolt

I noticed that bolt was "bent" when I first got my M15 in 1981. I assumed it was intentionally bent when it was installed so that the forestay would stay centered. I had occasion to remove and reinstall it this past summer when I ran wiring in the mast and did not notice any change (it is now 21 years later). Stan Winarski m15, #177, Carol II
