| A replacement bobstay is available of Sailbryte wire with new fittings swaged on both ends. |
| I'm standing on the bobstay trying to get a decent picture of the bow, and not doing a very good job. |
| It is so strong that a mooring pennant can be shackled through a special fitting so the entire boat can swing off the bobstay fitting, without any concern about chafing. |
| Straps and rings for bobstay plates are extant in the lower stempost, with mortises into the wood to admit the bobstay chains. |
| The bobstay, forestay and one running backstay were made up by my local chandler from the drawings below. |
| I believe the fisherman with me was drowned, but I clung to the bobstay and was got on board. |
