Hi Ulrich,

I do not want to change the mizzen backstays as they were new in 2017. I just want to buy a s/s clamp to fix the SSB feed wire to the isolated backstay.

I will be arriving in Leros September 8 and launching September 9 from Moor and Dock in Partheni. Then I will head down to Lakki for a few days and on to Kos where my wife arrives Sept 15. We will stay in Dodecanese until we clear out of Greece for Turkey probably from Simi and into Bozburum.

Will you be in Leros on or around Sept 10?

Kind regards

Nick

Hi Nick,

in spring I made an overall check about my rigg and to be sure on "Soleil Bleu“, and we are with the „advanced“ A54 rigg.

I measured all my stays, and shrouds with a slide gauge and I remember the mizzen backstays are 8 mm.

Also all wires are in stronger diameter than the early 54´s, so we are lucky with the advanced dimensions from ACMO.

To be sure for you I would always take the bigger ones in doubt or to get in touch with ACMO.

Just my one cent.

Where in Leros you are? currently on the hard? Artemis or Evros Marina? We are in September back in Evros marina.

Would be nice to meet you..

Best and stay safe

Ulrich.

Nick,

On my 54 (#16), it’s 7 mm for each backstay.
