All chainplates formed into hull carbon fiber. No turnbuckles. Here is a great site to learn soft shackles and dyneema rigging: https://l-36.com/soft_shackles.php

Interesting. Single or double diamond rig? Is everything dyneema? What's the sail area?

Rotating Rigg to Jeff Schionnings specification, 18.6m full carbon wing mast, home baked with special long cure epoxy. Inner and outer shrouds Dyneema, no spreader. Forestay is 10mm stainless bcs Profurls bearings. As you might expect, running rigging is Dyneema too. https://schionningdesign.com/

Awesome! A bit jealous over here

Do you have forward lowers?

1 inner forestay, could be removed under full sails, but needed when reefing. For feeling of safety I never remove it. No back stays.

Due to my age it might be for sale soon, not so sure yet, right now we are changing the crazed windows.
