Advice please. I put CDI furling on my M17. Per instructions I added a toggle to the top of the head stay. Now with both head stay and back stay tightened down as far as they go the rig is a bit floppy. Problem? Any way to make it a tighter? Thanks. David

As I rember, and it's been a few years, I had to buy a new head stay with the length corrected for the addition of the toggle. Furlin and Rigging can tell you all you need to know. Rick M17 #633 Lynne L On Tuesday, September 1, 2015, David Hill <david@dfhill.com> wrote:

David: the toggle for the headstay will have added, best guess, an inch to the forestay. i'm guessing you have turned the forestay and backstay turnbuckles 'down' all the way? -- :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com
