So, I'm missing the shackle at the very top of this pic. Part no h138. Attaches upper block of the main to the boom. Anybody know the shaft size? Heading to the hardware store in the morning to find something that will get me through the weekend. Don't wanna buy something too big.
Take the blocks with you to the hardware store.
H138 is 1/4" Stainless
they have them @ lowes ~ 5$...stainless and all. i carry an extra or 2 on the boat with me just in case...

^^^^good advice.
Thanks guys. got her figured out.
Third day out sailing EVER today and flew a hull for the first time. . Was a semi stressfull day, lot of stuff going on at once, nearly pitchpoled but overall extremely successful day. Itchin' for more 😀
pitchpoling is not so bad, just stay clear of the shrouds
