Typhoon Forestay

I am replacing my Typhoon's forestay. What is the proper name for the part at the top/head of the forestay that attaches to the mast? For the life of me I cannot even remember what it looks like, although I've stepped my mast twice now.

Fork? Eye? Toggle?

Is it not called the "stay tang"?

Ah, yes, semantics. If it's the piece at the top of the forestay that attaches to the mast, it could be a fork, eye, or toggle. If it's the piece at the top of the mast that attaches to the forestay, then yes, it's probably a tang.

Thanks. I guess I just need to drive over to see it. Oh, well...much appreciated.
