[quote=DaveW70]I have an older H14 Turbo that I sail both with the jib and without.
When I sail with the jib there is no separate forestay or shroud. It is part of the jib. The jib head is connected to the upper forestay (with the swivel) which in turn is connected to the mast tang. My upper forestay is about 15" long including the swivel.
If I rig it without the jib, then I use a much longer forestay (shroud) that runs from the mast tang to a chain plate on the bridle wires. This replaces the roller furler, the jib and the upper forestay. The upper forestay with the swivel stays in the sail box with the jib.
Here is a link to Hobie's wire guide that gives some lengths:
