For the Bowman 48, the information below is intended as a model-level planning tool rather than a substitute for checking the rig actually fitted to the yacht. Winch guidance is kept as an optional deck-equipment item, which helps distinguish a core re-rig from upgrades that may be desirable but are not essential to the stay set. Two boats of the same model can nevertheless differ after years of owner upgrades, previous re-rigging or changes to the mast and headsail-furling system. The lowest-risk approach is to verify the complete existing set: stay count, material, diameter, finished length, terminals, pins, rigging screws and all forestay/furling interfaces.
