[quote=arch]gentlemen, i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel or break my 5.8......just the opposite actually. i'm exploring the idea of making a canting mast by shortening my wire shrouds and installing blocks and line on the lower few feet. i just need to make sure my line and blocks can handle the loading.
in this video, compare the lower section of the shrouds when the camera is in front of the multihull to see how the mast is vertical and the shrouds are different lengths.

i know they have hydraulics involved but if they can do it, why not us???[/quote]
