I have been experimenting with my version of the german sheeting system, with some success. I love it!!
I would now like to make the set-up more permanent, which includes attaching a block to the baseplate of the shrouds on the deck.
I am proposing to drill and tap an eye-bolt through the base plate, and deck and into the plate below. (see first photo attached)
I have seen something similar to what I am proposing, on another Bavaria yacht, a few years ago, but the photo I took of this set up (see second attachment), doesn't show how it was done, only where it was.
Before I contact Bavaria directly, I would like to draw on the collect forum experience for any experience with this matter. Has anyone see or done this before?
As i am being cautious with any alterations to such an an important structural component like this, I would like any comments to be kept to direct experiences and observations of what i am proposing, and not speculation of what could go wrong.
Thank you in advance to this great Bavaria forum.
