Forestay tang is on... with an issue

The forestay tang is on and seems secure. Ignore the offset hole marks for the side tangs. They will all be at the same height for several reasons. 1- as designed. 2- easier to bend mast with a backstay if the rig is put on another boat where I might want to do that. 3- easier to rig a lower strap around them all with a throughbolt if the threads start to give out ( :help: ). The lack of room for the install of the retaining ring is disturbing, but not much to be done about it. More to follow in another post on that.
