[quote=klozhald]There should be [b][u]one big shackle[/u][/b] where the stays attach to the mast (mast hound). From port to starboard there should be:
1. Port trapeze line, single or double, by a thimble - NOT another shackle
2. Port side stay by a thimble
3. Forestay through a thimble
4. Starboard side stay by a thimble
5. Starboard trapeze line, single or double, by a thimble - NOT another shackle
Any additional shackles in this area are bound to get bound up and should be eliminated.[/quote]
