The forestay may be a tad short, but i've got some chain plates atatched where the bridles meet to allow for extra length, which the forestay conects to. So I don't think the forestay length is the problem...more the actual length of the shrouds..I checked the recommemded legths on the hobie site-a pdf with wire lengths, and it gave a length of 5.8m (19.03ft). Is this the correct length? Is it class legal to make a shroud length to suit yourself...with our light weight, I was considering going a little shorter than 'typical' to help with the lee bow, and pointing? Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks
