SV Strikhedonia has the original (non-articulating) bowsprit, held on with two brackets.<br><br>
'''Bowsprit stays'''<br>
Material:  Dyneema<br>
Length: 2870mm (113 inches)<br>
Diameter: 10mm<br>
Splices: Eye splice on each end (38mm (1.5") inside of eye splice loop)<br><br>

''Note:'' There is a line that is used to raise the bowsprit, it is recommended that it is able to break away.  This is in case the screecher halyard breaks and the sail falls into the water, in this situation it is possible for the sail to rip off the bowsprit and damage the fore beam.  SV Strikhedonia does NOT have a breakaway connection.<br>
Bowsprit positioning: Tilted up 10 degrees<br>
