I'm curious how I attach new Trap Wires to my H16 mast. I have an older 16 with the single mast tang and single hole in the tang. Do I just switch out to a larger shackle to accomdate the Shrouds (2), Forestay, and 2-4 Trap Lines?

The shrouds, forestay and one set of trap wires will fit on the bow of the main shackle.

The other set of trap wires go on the pin of the shackle. Like this:

(That's a 14's mast, so no second set of trap wires on the shackle, but you get the idea.)
