Top portion to a Catalina 387 split backstay for either in-mast furling rigs or non-furling masts with a user installed compression style end fitting.
We start with corrosion resistant type 316 stainless steel wire. A roll swaged fitting is used on the lower fitting. We include a user installed compression style eye on the upper end of the wire. This allows the wire to be trimmed to fit saving you the trouble of having to send in your old rigging to achieve a perfect fit. The eye will also attach to the existing mast head toggle that will be reused.
• Top connection: 5/8" Inside diameter marine eye
• Lower connection: Aircraft fork, for 7/16" clevis pin (not included) (Note: photo shows toggle jaw, but is a fixed fork for this backstay)
• Wire: 5/16" 1x19 Type 316 stainless steel
1) Your backstay will typically attach to the masthead using a custom stemball and toggle assembly at the top of the backstay. These bits of hardware are not included with this replacement backstay. Inspect carefully and reuse if still suitable. Call us if a replacement is needed.
2) This item does not conform to the shipping table in the Shopping Cart. Additional shipping must be calculated. When you place your order we always call with a shipping quote before billing your card. For a quote in advance, just call 800/959-7245.
3) This stay is made to order just for you. When you order it we cut the wire from a long reel and swage on the fitting. We can't splice it back onto the reel or remove the fitting we swaged on for you. Once you order it your order cannot be canceled, modified, returned, or exchanged, so please choose carefully!
