I did not know blackberries were still able to be used. How does that work?? On Fri, Apr 22, 2022, 11:56 AM Roger Langmaid <rogeregon@gmail.com> wrote:

I found an image I had with Montgomery 15 shroud lengths. I posted it to the photo group and hopefully it is available at: bg_112_6262236e848a8_l.jpg Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 12:10:17 -0700 From: Dave Scobie <scoobscobie@gmail.com> Subject: M_Boats: Re: M15 Stay and Shroud lengths To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Message-ID: <CAGjBOA7RszULWTaOHyKZPdJaU3n6qZ6kAv332GWa9eCi+_sSHA@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
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.
