[quote=thebda]That looks like a sleek setup, my thimbles are all open at the bottom, so I'm thinking chaffe with synthetic line would be an issue, other option is just cut the pigtail off the existing rigging and use a shackle to attach it to the forestay thimble Are there any structural issues with having a shackle near the open/attachment end of the thimble? Better to do that with a shackle at the mast where the other stays attack and have pigtail/stay attached to that?[/quote]
