I just aquired a H23.5 and was doing some looking around on here about tuning the rig and adjusting the forestay.

Are other 23.5 boats set up this same way or do I have an oddball? thanks james

Johnson Quick Release. A Johnson Quick release is one of the best mods you can made on a trailersailer. If that's what you have, attaching the forestay should be a lot easier.
