headstay or sidestays turnbuckles for M

[panda]

Which turnbuckle would work for sidestays (shrouds) instead of factory hardware on 26M? Or it's better to add it to the headstay?

The factory side stays always seemed janky to me coming from larger boats with traditional turbuckles.

However, I've learned they work just fine with this type of rig. Adjust side stays and then fine tune with the forestay turnbuckle thingy.

The BYW manual has a section on "Rig Tuning Tips"

I used these on my boat:

but I can't really recommend them because of the problems I've had described in this forum post:

I used dyneema lashings.
