I need to replace my shrouds. My sails are older (83’), so they won’t cooperate with the modern rake settings on the 16. Is there a shroud length for the older set up? Currently, I have the shrouds at the lowest location on the plates. I know newer shrouds are shorter, but by how much? Do you think I could maintain my approximate rake with newer shrouds attached higher on the plates? I’m a little over an hour away from my boat right now or I would just tip her over and measure them. I’d like to avoid the drive if possible and would love to have a new set to install the next time I go to the club. I’d rather not sail until they are replaced as there are some visible signs of fatigue. Does anyone know of the length? |

Yes... new shrouds are shorter, so move newer ones up in the adjuster plates to get to where you used to be in Rake. |

Thanks! I didn't know how significant the difference was. I appreciate the quick reply. |
