[C38] Forestay diameter

[Dick Kilroy]

Bruce: as with all things to do with boats I don't think your question has a 
simple answer. Dashaway, Hull number 193, has what I believe is oversized 
rigging at 3/8". I believe the majority were 5/16". Also if adding furling 
gear you will have to either alter or replace your head stay as it will be 
of a different length.

Not sure of the clevis pin diameter but believe it is 5/8"

Dick.
