forestay dimension

[Mark]

AFter reviewing the specs and info on my 1972 Oday 23', I'm missing some info....I need a forestay length and standing rigging diameter, anyone have any quick referrences? I could go out 'n measure, but figured if anyone else ventured this road.I know I could send a measuring tape up the forestay, but temps outside aren't the warmest in the world...soooo figured I'd ask you all before I brave another wisconsin winter day.*LOL*Mark

Sorry I didn't see this earlier; I skipped over it with no boat model. I have a 1973 O'day, with a cabin-top stepped mast, but I expect it is the same geometry. The forestay is 1x19x5/32" SS Wire and is 28'-7" long (pin-to-pin) with the turnbuckle engaged halfway.
