BTW - Do the Ronstan sidestay adjusters have any advantage over the StaMasters?

Hi All
These are the Ronstan sidestay adjusters as seen on several A Classes, Ronstan No RF2331, 17 adjustments in 4mm increments.

Nice.. also check out the wind reading instrument in place of the jib. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

StaMaster adjusters on the forestay.

Interesting, but how are adjustments made and where does the line run? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The line runs through a eyelet in the tramp, which you can probably see, then out to the sides, up through another eyelet (one each side), to cleats just forward of the centrecases.
Fairly popular on A Classes and the Blade I believe.
Taipans have slowly been changing over, but only really when they refit a new mast or replace something else, tend to swap over while their at it.

The Ronstan stay adjusters only advantage I suppose is that there cheaper, about $28 each over here, I recently got given a price for StaMasters $115 each, (but I haven't shopped around either and I can't see how they could be that much). They weigh 65 grams, that would be a around half of the StaMasters (I'm only guessing).
