Need Help. Just got a 1993 26S and can't find anything in the manual about how and where to fasten the topping lift to the mast.

The 26S didn't come with a factory topping lift

They had a "pigtail" attached to the rear stay, about seven feet above the cockpit with a clip on the end to hold the end of the boom when at anchor/moor, but no topping lift. Many of us have installed our own by drilling a hole across the two plates of the chicken head (top fitting on the mast where the back stay attaches) and putting a block in there, or just attaching a fixed length line there. I've got mine rigged to a block that runs the topping lift line down the mast and to the cockpit.
