Hi all,
I know the bridals attach to hole 23 and 32 of the toe rail. Does anyone have a suggested length for these as I have to make them? Would rope suffice as far as load bearing since they are really guiding the mast to stay straight?
Any other suggestions are welcome from those who have gone through the make em yourself process...
Thanks,

Good long lengths of small chain and 3 snap clips (each side) worked well for me the first time I did it. You can experiment a lot that way.
As Scott said, main point is the the center (eye) of the bridle on each side is same height and place as mast step.
If you could pass a rod thru one eye, have it go just under the hook (or just over) and come out on the other side into the other eye its perfect.
That's actually how I made my first set.
