[quote=revintage]Yep, the bridle is at 107cm now, but it will be lowered to 46cm. A turnbuckle was my idea too, to get the tension right in the central wire. As I have a Spinlock Rig-Sense, keeping track of the wire tension can be done quite easily.
The reason for the lowered bridle is, that I want it below the jib tack. To much work to make the jib luff pocket pass the highly placed bridle as I first planned.
If my guesstimate of 1,3x is correct, this means there will be a compression of the spin pole of 0,3x, so no problem for the 40x2mm alu pole.
Have ordered 5mm Hampidjan Dynice Dux(spliced breaking load 4300kg!) for the new forestay. Will also use it for the pelican striker.
