I gave away my old roller furler and sent the old forestay along with it. Just wondered if anyone happened to know the forestay length for the Rasmus, as I have a new furler to install, and must give the rigger the dimensions. Thanks for any help! Anzo s/v Berzerker

Is the mast standing? If it is you can measure

quite closely by pulling a tape measure with a halyard. A man with binoculars can determine when the end of the tape is in line with the attachment point on the masthead. Just be sure to include a downhaul with the end of the tape.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! Actually, as there is no forestay, I guess I'll run a stiff tape measure up the halyard, supported by maybe some small shower curtain rings and then do the binocular thing. Thanks again! Anzo
