I'm puzzled. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Are all Mozzies set up with this amount of hardware up the mast? Why would you have your trapezes on a sparate tang aft of the rotational axis of the mast? This is just placing an unecessary additional axial loading on the mast. Almost all cat masts that I know of have the stays set on the lowest hole of the hounds fitting and the traps on the highest hole. Sometimes people will split the stays and have the forestay on a separate shackle on the middle hole, but I've never seen a set-up such as this.
