Being overwhelmed by the rousing response to my other question regarding the mast base I have another question. Did I mention that I'm a new owner??
In some photo's of the DF-25 it appears that there are two sets of upper shrouds- one fixed set and one that is further aft and with a multi part purchase arrangement at the bottom.
My boat is set up for one fixed set only. Am I missing something? I'm getting ready to launch for my first time tomorrow, and it blows pretty hard sometimes here on San Francisco Bay......
Thanks for the help!

My boat has the split set-up with a shroud that splits, one length to a turnbuckle on the center of the ama and the other length to a purchase aft on the ama. I have also seen just a shroud and shroud with running backstays. The photos on the flickr page are helpful. Many of those I've seen on a swedish site that had many pictures of 25s and fixed 800s. Great when you can see the rigging. Sadly I think the site is gone.
