How many clevis are there attaching the forestay to the chainplate, you really need 2 to allow moment in all directions.

In the mid 70's on a S&S 50 footer we were running down from the Moko's at night in a good NEly read to gybe around Flat Rock and the boat did a chinses gybe, we were pinned down. The crew were ready in their positions for the gybe with the new sheet grinder up to his neck in water using the lifelines as a ladder, I could could another crew with a knife attaching the boom preventer, yellin at the grinder to duck then a few seconds the main changed sides. That was my closest moment to a fatal accident I been to on a boat. Had to off load a crew member with a broken leg to a launch in the le
