Mine is a Taipan. I noticed when I replaced the chain plate with the same numer Ronstan part that it was a heavier gauge. It had been riveted on. I replaced rivits with bolts and washers as while I understand the idea of sheer strength...I just don't need to be that mean with weight.
And I hope I was clear..re Wouter saying the mast limiter line in not sufficient. I mean one extra cord to tie that to both sides of the boat is no big dealwhen it supplies peace of mind.
You also need to understand the winds around your boats position.
We just had a one in 150 year storm here with gusts of 90 plus Knotts!
It was from a direction I knew would go over a hill and that my boats would be in no more than 20.......but that has taken me time to be sure about.
