U20 Boat Maintenance & Care / Forestay/Jib adjustment
« Last post by Brian Mikiten on April 26, 2026, 10:02:48 PM »
I don't see much about forestay adjustments and given that there is no backstay, I'd expect to see more. I understand the effect of the shrouds on the tension but wondered if there was a standard (or typical) length of the adjustment loop at the clam cleat by the furler attachment. I seem to have only about 3" of adjustment but remember seeing boats with over 12". Assume no vang is on.

Pretty sure those Blue Wave QRT require their own threaded swage terminal which means you would need all new shrouds in order to have those work.

Has anyone tried the Blue Wave QRT19014 adjusters?  They appear to be about $275 each which makes the retrofit a bit pricey.

Are there any commercially available launching bags that anyone has tried? I called a few sources I have used before but most are out of business.
