You get high load or wire blocks for the business end, then you can downsize once you're into the cascade.

You'll need to check the max break load.... alternatively go up a size to the 29mm or even the 38mm range, iirc that's what other cat sailors do.

Er, I want to adjust them all independent of each other, those cap shrouds are brill for depowering the top of the sail and the lowers work totally differently to all my previous experience with Gnavs, a powerful kicker seems way more productive, just wish it didn't take up so much room.

So I guess the sensible option would be something semi permanent (not on the fly) for the main shrouds, something I can adjust the cap shroud things with and maybe let the lowers off, not sure about that.

Fundamentally though whatever y'all come up with for me must be easy for me to rig whilst holding the mast up with the other hand alone if necessary..

The shroud adjustment will be the easy bit but its how do you adjust Cap, Shrouds and lowers all from that one fixxing anchor point, which from my experience is quite a fragile fitting?

Graeme, just be carefull with thoose shroud attachements, i used them on the 5oh with our guy system and they bent under the load slithtly, so under all the rig tension loading i would worry about them failing.
