Post by Oscar »

The wires, of shroud like construction that go from the underside of the beams to the hull... Elsewhere on this forum someone calls them "water stays" is that the correct term?

They have been called that on this side of the Atlantic also for as long as I have owned a tri (13 years).
The ones on that boat are small enough so you can them made up by any good rigger.
I think Stew last had them done three or four years ago.
