[quote=dustin601]Flatline - I have seen many pictures of the 5.0 with the forestay attached to bridles, however the manual that came with the boat (which is very tattered) makes no reference to bridle installation or installation of bridle attachments to the hull. It does say to attach jib to the forestay and shows the jib almost in contact with the front cross member. Clearly there must have been a few mods during the early and short production of this model boat. Thank you for the feedback i will have to make a decision on how I will end up rigging but despite the manual i may go with the bridle method. Thanks again
Wolfman - Thanks for the input, i think i will go with the bridle installation method, the shrouds are attached with 10 hole adjusters but still seems they are short. Once i fit the new hulls i have been looking at i will begin the new rigging and post some pictures. Would it be okay to fit the shrouds with two 10 hole adjusters as you mentioned with the forestay or would that not be ideal? Thanks again Dustin[/quote]
