Jib Tack Shackle & Pin Size?

[Bob Hart]

While sailing a downwind run causing a lot of jib flapping/snapping in heavy wind, the tack shackle just disappeared, letting the jib tack flap in the breeze! Now that it's gone, I don't know the replacement size. Anyone have that info. (it's not in the C350 manual)? I have the 135% roller furling Genoa Jib.

Hi Bob,

I am not sure of the size but here is a picture of mine. Maybe you can use a ruler to figure out the size using a ratio to your lifesize furler.

Well, that's more than a simple shackle & pin. I don't see how I could've lost all that at the same time. I must have had a simpler arrangement.
