Today I was looking over the shrouds and stays of my new to me 2003 C18. I looked at Catalina Directs site just to see what they have. In looking at the lower shrouds I see they are recommending you not use the "T Bar" type lowers because they might fail and go to a more standard type with a pin and cotter ring. So I'm wondering how many of you have switched to the new attachment? My lowers look OK and I wasn't going to change them out. But with this warning I thought I would ask the forum what they use. I did notice that their fore stay attaches with the T Bar type attachment.
