So I've got a new 1996 Pacific Seacraft E38 and I'm in the process of replacing the running rigging and I've come across a few odd things that I have questions about.
My boats genoa halyard has a snap shackle, where my old boat used just an eye splice halyard with a Wichard captive pin D shackle. What type of shackle is everyone using from the genoa halyard to attach to the genoa furler head attachment?
Also I'm curious how folks have their topping lift setup on there E38? Previously I had a fixed masthead attachment that came back to the boom end sheave and then forward boom sheave to the deck and then back to the cockpit. My new boat appears to have the option for the fixed attachment at the boom end then run up to the mast head sheave and back down the mast to the deck and then back to cockpit.
