I'm converting an early Inter 17 to a sloop. It currently has the uni-style bridle with the long (19') bridle wires and short (2'9") forestay. Would anyone with either an F17 or a more updated Inter 17 with sloop-style short bridle wires be willing to check the length of their bridle wires?

Nacra seems to have made a half dozen different versions of the boat, so I'd like to find out the correct bridle wire lengths, cut those, and then I can measure and cut a new forestay to fit. I just don't want to go shorter than the shortest factory bridles so there's not more inward load on the hulls than it was designed for.

Thanks in advance!
