Who doesn't love the old Wattle Solarguard..... I rolled it one my multis back in the day.... no masking required
So unless anyone pulls me up I’m going old school on the water stays 30x5 mm 316 stainless flat bar not adjustable 10 mm ss bolt each end bolting flat to flat ..Set up without the rig tensioned and with the amas flying ——- Buchaneer style
I would absolutely not add that kind of weight when there is such modern good fiber solutions... It will probably even be cheaper than SS
I completely understand what your saying and have struggled with exactly that and this is the only place old schools used at a total of 2 kg each at as low as weight gets ....about the same as wire as I’m eliminating 1x turnbuckle 2 x shackles . All other rigging will be Synthetic and a huge weight saving overall . Boat will not be trialed regularly and spending extended periods of time in the water being used positives of this system are no maintenance no retensioning water stays regarding creep no initial setting in of stretch .Much stiffer as it supports in both directions not just one.
