I’ve also noticed on the 2 other sprits I’ve seen made on the site looks like the whisker tangs are slightly angles and off center favoring the lower half of the sprit. I think I’m gonna take the ride to the boat today. If any one has any or pics they can give me I’d appreciate it......I’m regretting not getting the 38 haha 32 will do though..

I don't think on the stock setup that it is angled at all. That would be better though. Picturing it in my head which is prone to all sorts of errors 🙂 I would think it's only a 5 or 6 degree down angle. Don't hold me to that though.

Going way out on a long limb. The boats2 hrs away. I'm welding the tangs on the sprit and I've got the bobstay tangs on... Now I'm putting the whisker stay tangs on from what I remember the whisker stays had toggles with a harsh fairlead. Should I out my tangs at an angle or straghts. If angke how hard?
