moody 336 rigging sizes

[Birdseye]

need to fit a new forestay to my 336 but the mast is up so all I can get is an approx measure of the length and the fact that its 7mm wire. Does anyone know the precise dimensions of the rigging? In particular, what size hole is there in the top fitting?

I was pricing one a few wks ago, and was told that measurement had to be very precise, from eye to eye, so they could make allowances for stretch.

Not too worried about that as long as the wire is over length. The rigger cant supply one with fittings at both ends because you have to feed the wire through the extrusion. So you buy an overlong piece of wire with a swaged fitting at the top and a swageless fitting at the bottom which you fit yourself after cutting to length.

I'll try and get this for you later from Moody Owners website. Do you have a copy of the owners manual, because I could send you this in pdf.

You could look at this site:

PM me if you want the manual. It includes this:

I 12.88
J 4.11
P 10.97
E 3.73

Hopefully all this means something to you. The mauripro website has an explanation of these terms.

Thanks, but I've got those numbers. They dont tell you what length the wire rope is, nor the size / type of the top fitting

Doesnt help that Moody dont exist any longer, and Premier dont seem interested in anything much but marina fees.

Ring Moody parts - Phil Holloway is very helpful.
