New headstay and quick release tensioner...

[Steve Ullrich]

I just purchased a new head stay with a quick release lever for my 1988 C-16/3 directly from Hutchins.  Gerry Hutchins answered a note I sent to info@com-pacyachts.com asking about the quick release lever that they use on the new Legacy.  Gerry knew exactly what I wanted and told me a new head stay would also be necessary.  I rigged it yesterday and re tensioned my shrouds to center the mast and tension the new headstay appropriately.  The only slow thing about tensioning the rig now is the ring clip to attach the headstay.  Roughly $180 for a C-16/2 or 3.  It is pretty slick.
