I've been restoring an 83' 16 for the last two months and finally stepped the mast only to find that the shrouds and forestay were incredibly loose even when attached to lowest holes in each adjuster(mast swings two feet in every direction). I've been contemplating rigging the shrouds to the upper hole in the mast tang and to take up slack and seeing what will happen. Has anyone done this? Is it safe? Or, should I just buy new shrouds since these are probably more than a few years old and hope new ones fit better? BTW, the forestay is new. Appreciate advice.
