We start with corrosion resistant type 316 stainless steel wire. We use roll swaged fittings top and bottom for reliability. A new open design turnbuckle body can be securely pinned to prevent the turnbuckle from unscrewing.

You may want to consider either a Boomkicker or a topping lift to handle the boom while hoisting the main or during a reef. You may just prevent whacking someone in the head with the boom!

Fits both Capri 22 MkII through hull number 1258, built in January of 2012, at which point a new rig manufacturer was used. The new style mast requires different length wires as well as different attachment fittings.

Caution: Always unhook the pigtail before attempting to hoist the main. If you get a puff with the main partially raised and the boom hooked to the backstay, you may break the hook on the pigtail. Worse, if the hook doesn't break, you are likely to round up into the wind uncontrollably and hit someone or something you hadn't planned on!
