Dave is right- the wires are of different lengths; turnbuckles and other hardware are of different lengths depending on manufacturers, and somewhere in the struggle I changed the mast length from 19'2.5" to 19'4, because my friend Ron Holder came out with his Vagabond 17, and to order them together, in larger quantities, we both compromised on length. I remember that our next order was for 5,000 lbs of masts, and we got them for under 50. each! Note that there has been a tremendous amount of inflation since then. I don't know if Sage is still in the rigging business since Dave left, but if they are they would do fine. Sage has my old swedging machine.

The _actual_ mast stuff in the diagram Graham shared is likely fine. The shroud/forestay/backstay/bridle lengths may be very different because the different house and transom on a 'mach 1' M17 v the 'mach 2' in the PDF diagram.

Maybe this diagram can help. It is a later model than yours but may get
