Mast tang for SC15

Post by gahamby »

What's the best upgrade for my mast tang? It's kinda crowded up there. I've been told an H-18 tang is a good one. It looks good. I am open to suggestion. GH

I switched the old single hole hound on mine out for the newer 2 holed one and was happy with it. Would a H18 hound fit a SC mast? When possible I go through Tom to get the parts made for our boats, just my opinion....

With a two hole mast tang, what's the set up? Shrouds and for stay upper and trap wires lower?

Opposite. The traps go in the top hole, shrouds and forestay in the bottom

You can use synthetic lines for the trap lines and it might make some more room.

I used some Amsteel for my trap lines and was able to reduce the number of shackles on the tang. It made it a little less complicated and also lighter. If I come across a picture I will post it.
