Owners considering a re-rig on a Bowman 40 can use this page to establish the likely project scope before the existing stays are measured. Because a re-rig often exposes related wear, the page also gives reference points for running rigging, furling, kicker and winch equipment rather than treating the stays in isolation. 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. Before ordering, compare the model page with the actual rig and resolve any difference in stay layout, wire size, end fittings, pin dimensions, rigging screws or furler connections.
