Having just brought home my "new to me" M15, I have not yet rigged her (even in the driveway as a trial, learning run). I notice that my side stays and forestay terminate with no turnbuckles. Instead, there are some sort of U shaped, approx. 4" long stainless jaw type fittings with many clevis pin holes (adjustability?). Is this the norm? Plenty of stay tensioning ability with these? I've never had a boat so rigged. All of my previous sailboat's stays terminated with turnbuckles for adjustment. Of course, they ran from 26' to 42' in length. Perhaps this size boat, with much lighter standing rigging, works just fine this way? Sorry to bother all with such mundane questions; just never seen this before. Thanks for your patience with such a "newb" Monty owner! *Jeff+* Molōn labe!
