I have a Smuggler N1954 'Magician' whose mast is also a d section proctor without spreaders, the rig tensioning is by a pair of shroud tensioners which are stainless levers on a quadrant rachet ( very similar in design to tensioners used on tiger moth aircraft ). I cant put pictures on the net but ther are photos of her and these tensioners on the Hornsea Sailing Club web site photo library. The rig tensioners were fitted in 1969 as far as I can tell by the second owner.

I have bought N1954 off Andrew , I have repainted and varnished the hull and in the process of fitting the hull out with the original fittings where possible. I will be keeping her at Hornsea Mere ( East yorks ) . I am not a racer at the moment but am interested in vintage N12's having learnt to sail in a 1950's Holt N1030. I intend to use the original  mast and sails , but have a more modern mast and a Ullmans main c1989 and will be interested how she performs
