I'm relaunching my CD25 tomorrow, and I have a question about the lengths of my stays and shrouds relative to each other.
It seems the stays should be easy to differentiate since the backstay will be longer. Right?
The upper shrouds should be easy too, since they are shorter than either stay and the same length as each other. Right?
Are the four lower shrouds all the same length? Or are the fore and aft lower shrouds different lengths?
Last time I took down the mast, I labeled everything and re-assembly was a breeze. This time around, I was in too big of a hurry and am paying for it now.
Thanks for your help.
