South Coast Sailboats
New tabernacle bracket with snap shackle
holes
When I upgraded the mast the last time, this
was a part of the refit. This gives you a place to run lines and
sheets to at the base of the mast. I use small brass snap shackles
on my lines & sheets and just snap them to the base plate.
This is great because your sheets cannot run away from you up
the mast, and it also gives you a perfect reinforced place to
attach the lower end of a boom vang. (Another good recommendation)
