Hello All, I have a contraption like Steve which I no longer used having installed a roller furler this season . For $25 and the cost of shipping it is available. RTH. -----Original Message----- From: stevetrapp Sent: Sunday, August 31, 2014 6:33 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: : M-15 forestay device These photos show the device I use on my M-15 forestay in place of a turnbuckle. It allows slack when open, but puts adequate tension on the forestay when closed, and locked. I bought it at a marine supply store, cost about the same as a turnbuckle.
