We include a user installed swageless compression terminal stud on the lower end of the wire. The body screws directly onto the stud eliminating the top turnbuckle toggle. There are fewer parts that can fail and fewer parts to snag sails and sheets. when compared to the older design which incorporated both upper and lower t-bolt and toggle assemblies. We replace your old turnbuckle toggle with a forged T-bolt design which cannot accidentally unscrew from the bottom slug like earlier designs. Turnbuckle clevis pins and new cotter pins are provided.

By using the masthead rigging toggle already on your masthead, we prevent you from having to replace the forestay again in the near future. We build our forestays assuming you either have a furler or may have one soon. The toggle acts as a universal joint to prevent wire failure due to fatigue from bending each time you tack. Wire length is modified accordingly to accommodate the toggle.

We include a selection of thrust washers and instructions for their use when there is a roller furler installed.

This forestay is supplied with a compression stud terminal so you can trim the wire to length, saving you the trouble of having to send in your old rigging to achieve a perfect fit. Suitable for use if the boat is equipped with the following furlers: CF-700 and 00AL. There may be others as well that we haven't specifically tested yet.

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!
