Hi everyone. I have a 250WB and in the owner's manual (masthead assembly page) the forestay looks like it is connected to the pin closest to the Jib halyard. The picture shows that the frontal pin location is for an optional spinnaker halyard.

I just lowered the mast to replace the windex and for some reason I noticed that my forestay is connected to the front pin. The boat had been in a boatyard for service recently and I am thinking may be the yard made a mistake and replaced the pin on the wrong location. I have Schaefer Furlers on the forestay.

Thanks in advance.

You are correct in your interpretation of the manual. The yard person goofed.
