SO 43 releasable inner forestay
I am planning to fit a releasable inner forestay to my 2001 SO 43 which will allow me to fly a storm sail and a no 2 or no. 3 genoa in strong winds.
I have an existing roller furling genoa and plan to site the eye for the steel releasable forestay about 18 inches behind the furling genoa drum. There appear to be very few places to site this as the anchor locker and windlass are immediately behind the main forestay.
Has anyone fitted a releasable forestay on an SO43?
If so, where did you site the attachment eye?
I realise I will have to have the deck strengthened for the eye. Any advice or views would be welcome
Best regards
