I'd appreciate it if someone would post pictures of how their headstay AND jibstay are secured to the bow of a CP16-1.
Thanks,

Marty,
First off, sorry to hear about your demasting situation. Glad you were not hurt!
I don't have pictures, but there should be two chainplates on the bow. The way I had my 16 rigged before a made a DIY furler was the forestay pinned to the front/forward chainplate and the jib had a bronze spring hook tied to the tack and clipped onto a shackle that was pinned through the aft chainplate. I"m pretty sure that is the factory configuration, or thereabouts.
