Hi All
I wondered about some day replacing the rigging that runs from the bows on my 36 to the forestay (rollerfurler).
It is currently rod rigging. Any thoughts in respect to replacing the rod rigging between the bows with wire instead of rod rigging?
Anybody else done this? i am not entirely sure why PDQ used Rod rigging to hold the forestay, perhaps to limit stretch?
Thanks
