Topic: Foretriangle Dimensions

Good day all!

With the snow here in Montreal it will be a while before I can get to my boat and even longer before her mast is raised again!  Spring is only... months away.

I am looking for a dimension.  I need to know the distance between the forestay tang and the forward lower shroud.  Someone offered to sell me a self-tending headsail.  The sail's foot is 10' which means it should clear the mast but I wondered if the jib boom he wants to sell me will clear the shrounds. 

If someone has access to their boat this would be very helpful.

Many thanks!

Christopher

Hi Christopher,
Needed some measurements of my own so while I was under the tarp I got yours. Distance on deck is 9ft 7in. Unfortunately my mast is not up so I can not get the measurement where the boom would cross over although I think you would have room since the shrouds angle back to the mast.

...)))) May the wind fill your sails and the sun shine in your face cool
