The Caliber 40LRC has convertible
cutter rig. This means that the inner
forestay can be rigged aside when not in use.
The Navtec inner forestay has an adjustable screw (Navtec 1/2"
Standard Screw 8.39") that needs
to be replaced, according to the boat surveyor, every six years. Our inner forestay screw was ten years old so
we decided to satisfy the survey finding by replacing it. We found the exact match to the adjustable screw
through RiggingandHardware.com. They are
great to work with.
Since the inner forestay is
removable, this was an easy replacement.
We added a small amount of Lanacote to the screw when replacing. Total replacement time was one hour.
