Nic,
The Sabre manual contains a fit-out guide, which is what I am assuming you are getting the “standard” fittings from in your postings here. Note that it is only a guide. The Sabre rules allow for a large variety of fittings to be used throughout the boat, so don’t be too concerned if you can’t use the exact fitting mentioned in the fit-out guide.
In pratice, I have seen a large variety of blocks used successfully at the top of the mast. The main thing is that it supports the type of halyard you want to use – rope or wire.
Similar comments can be made about the tangs for attaching shrouds to the mast. You have to use tangs (not a hounds fitting), but I think the exact brand/type is not as important as making sure it is correctly located so it will pass the measurer’s inspection.
Regards,
Alan Riley
