Hi All,
I recently bought a 14.2 and am re-rigging it. I would like turnbuckles on the side shrouds but have two problems: 1) They are expensive; 2) I am cheap.
Catalindirect don't offer this option for the 14.2, and I'm thinking of making up the shrouds myself, probably at West Marine--seems easy enough. But in terms of WLL (working load limit) of the turnbuckles, I'm wondering about the range of possibilities. The higher the WLL, the more expensive, of course.
The current shrouds are...
Shrouds and turnbuckle WLLs
