OK, I wish I was not so dumb. Got my third J24 about six weeks ago. It has the original open turnbuckles. I ordered the fast adjustment turnbuckle/handle for the four shrouds and, you guessed it, those turnbuckle handles do not fit the original turnbuckles. So I ordered four fast-adjustable turnbuckles. And you guessed it, now the bottom of the new turnbuckle will not reach the chainplates. So now I have ordered three different sizes of turnbuckle jaws to extend the shroud and "new" turnbuckles with handles to "reach" the chainplates. Before I order four of the "right" size, any suggestion on "how" I should rig the shrouds now to "reach" the chainplates? Obviously the new turnbuckle with handles is shorter than the original turnbuckles. Help? lol
