Here is how we quick rigged the Nacra 5.0, using the original fore stay, with no pigtail.
This stay had thimbles on both ends. The thimbles just fit within the jaws of the drum & swivel. The thimble leaves plenty of room to place a small bow shackle to hold the block that the jib halyard runs through.
Removing the 10 hole adjuster from the bottom end was almost the same length as the added drum & swivel, so the mast rake remained the same. However, it is not adjustable now.
