Roger. I've looked at all my flash and hard drives. Can't find the document with the M15 shrouds details. I do remember that the early boats have shrouds and forestay of equal lengths. Jerry stopped doing this as folks would set the mast straight so without enough rake (need at least 3-4"). He then built the boats with the forestay a bit longer and the shrouds a bit shorter 'to encourage the correct rake'. IMO unless the current rigging seems as if it was incorrect just duplicate what you have. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!

Roger:
Do you think the existing shrouds are the incorrect length?
I have, someplace, a pdf that shows the rigging specs. Can't find it but I'll keep looking.

Could anyone help me with standard eye to eye lengths for the M15 mast stay and shrouds ? I need to replace one damaged shroud and think I will order a set, I will of course also measure the existing rigging too but just to confirm
thank you
