The side stays measures 175 1/16" from marine-eye bearing surface to the swaged end of the T-Ball fitting "4", the T-ball fitting "4" measures 2 7/8", for a total length, bearing surface to bearing surface, of 177 15/16".
The chainplate adjusters add 3 3/8" bearing surface to bearing surface.
The total distance for a rake of 23' 4" is the total of the shroud length and chainplate, = 181 5/16"
The forestay, T-ball fitting "4" bearing surface to eye-loop = 200". The eye on the original Hartley shroud was 11 3/4" long, and often exited right at the deck of the boat, catching on the exit hole on either side, and preventing adustment. They eye only needs to be large enough to attach to the purchase system for rig tension, with either a shackle or soft shackle.
