[quote=pbgaja]thanks guys..I hadn't thought about the trap wires..stabilzing the mast ..thanks Andrew I'll use the forstay...turbo's rig is real cheap to build..but the trailer that I bought with the boat already has a support there behind the winch..I assumed it was some type of mast support for trailering..so I had already drilled a hole thru it and ran an eye hook thru and bolted and it's on this eye hook I run the block and tackle..Andrew your advise is sound..just trying to save the 200.sometimes it's just better to bite the bullet and buy something that's proven..thanks...there no way the jib halyard would fail..5/16 yatch braid has an enormous break strength..the mast isn't that heavy..but wire sure is alot stronger and has no stretch![/quote]
