What size turnbuckles to get?
Looking to replace my
current
SS closed body turnbuckles with forged
bronze
open body. Should I keep the pin size the same? I have 1/4 wire on my Westsail 28. Options are 3/8", 7/16", and 1/2". Is bigger better?

Re: What size turnbuckles to get?
I'd say just keep the pin size to fit the existing holes in your chainplates.
