PROBLEM: 1979 Paceship 23. Irreparably bent mast during haul out. Bought a new-to-me [used] mast. New mast is shorter. Have practically new standing rigging which I want to re-use. Side stays will transfer, but need to shorten fore and back stays.
Old Mast: 27' 6"
New Mast: 27' 1"
QUESTION: What "formula" do I use to calculate how many inches to remove from the fore- and back- stays?
Thank you in advance for any help!
