I replaced the forstay and shrouds on my M15 from Furling and Rigging in Newport Beach CA They do a fast and great job. Even got spares that are in the boat all the time. Pete WinterSky Chinook Breeze Sent from my iPhone

I installed new Shrouds and quick releases on my M-17. Sorry to say I am not at all happy with them. Worst is I can’t seem to adjust them as I want. May Go back. Having said that I think one on the forestay should work very good. Brand name I don’t know. I bought them as a package.

Alright Dave, here’s a question related to one of my winter projects. I’ll be replacing the stays (friend’s story of loosing mast first day of a San Juan cruise convinced me new wire and the peace of mind it would bring are worth it). I’ve contemplated adding a adjusting lever to the forestay to make setting up and tensioning the rig even easier. Curious if the M boat hive mind has any opinions on a) whether a forestay lever is a good addition on an m15, and b) if there is a specific one folks would recommend. Here are the two that have caught my eye:

Thanks for any feedback!
