Robert. Reads like your shrouds are all to long. The M15 doesn't need turnbuckles, unless you have a furler, and then need on on the forestay.

Hi David , Yes to question one. In fact turnbuckles on all three stays. Cheers. RTH.

Robert:
was the forestay converted to using a turnbuckle in place of the shroud tensioner?
do the side-shrouds have shroud tensioners?

Hello All, I have a CDI furler on my M-15 and even though my shrouds are attached at the after chain plate holes I can’t seem to get the furler taut.In fact there is a little forward rake in the mast at the present setting. Of course our 15’s have no back stays which would probably solve the slackness problem.Any helpful advice? RTH.
