Are you adding a jib? I made a bridal for my jib, so the stress is not in the center of the spreader bar, but rather on the bow tangs. I have heard/read that the spreader bar can bend under high jib loads. Good luck
Tradisrad, do you have a pic of your bridal? And do you know the measurement please? Are you using the Hobie jib?
On a video from Geoff Victor he shows his bridal wires as 90 cm (35-1/2"), but he is using an aftermarket jib that is a bit bigger than the Hobie jib. The leach of his jib is 327 cm, the luff 383 cm and the foot is 176 cm. Not sure what the Hobie measurements are.
Thanks.
