Hi there,
I'm currently coming to the end of a restoration of a 1960s national 12. I have the mast but I need to source some stainless steel rigging for it. Can anyone tell what the correct diameter would be to use? I was thinking 4mm. Whats normally used?
Thanks

I would sugest 3mm, 4mmis overkill

Mikey,

Ditto on the diameter, 3mm is the norm on most dinghies. Most decent chandlers will be able 2 knock up some shrouds and a forestay.

Mikey,
I used 3mm dyform on Bobtail. I have quite a lot left if you are interested. I can fabricateĀ  shrouds and a forestay to length with terminals swaged to suitĀ if this helps.
