Hi Guys,
To set the record straight and check my facts --
I was just out at our P19 and I eyeballed the angle between where the shrouds
attach to the chainplate and the maststep. Using a cheap plastice protractor
and a straightedge and my eye (no precision measurements) , they are attached
about 15 to 20 degrees aft of the mast step, not directly outboard as I
claimed earlier... Interesting hmmm?
