I recently replaced the 3/32? shrouds and jib stay for the sturdier 1/8 inch from DR Marine. I had them made with the immobile forks as I have a tabernacle/mast jack I use to adjust the tension. Now when I raise the mast there is a fair amount of tension on the side shrouds and it is difficult to place the clevis pin on jib stay - this with the mast in its lowest position. I don't know what the remedy is other than trying to talk to Rudy about this but my guess is I will be stuck with having to buy another set or shortening the bottom portion of the split mast. Any thoughts? thanks.
