For the Amel 55, the information below is intended as a model-level planning tool rather than a substitute for checking the rig actually fitted to the yacht. The furler section is useful for checking whether the existing forestay system should be retained, replaced or considered alongside a wider furling upgrade. Model data is most valuable when it is compared with the boat in front of you, because small hardware changes can affect the finished length and termination required for a replacement stay. Where measurements are being supplied remotely, clear photographs of every upper and lower termination should accompany the finished lengths, wire sizes, pin diameters and rigging-screw details.
