Calculation guide for AT-cable length of a CX-furler.  

 

Model CX model: AT-cable length (mm)
ID Total distance between the halyard shackle and the attachment in the deck / bowsprit
SD Standard deduction (recommended): - 100
TS Total system length = -100
F Deduction for halyard swivel - 90
E Deduction for lower swivel - 115
  Any other deductions such as:
2:1 bridle below lower swivel and / or 2:1 halyard system
-
ATS Max space for the AT-cable = -305
% Deduction (1%) for the elongation of the AT-cable = ATS x 0.01 - -3
MSS Pin-to-pin length (max sail space)    = -302
B Addition for upper thimble and Colligo AT-clamp(s) + 220
A Addition for lower thimble and Colligo AT-clamp(s) + 220
ATL AT-cable total length (cutting length) = 138 *

 

 

* Do not cut AT-cable until assembly is completed with terminated ends and confirmed pin-to-pin length.
