ABSTRACT:
An improved stay includes an aluminum rod member. A terminal fitting located at each end of the rod member connects the rod member with the sailboat. The connection between the rod member and the terminal fitting is made by deforming a stainless steel sleeve member into the aluminum forestay rod member. The sleeve member is provided with internal grooves or recesses. The sleeve member is deformed radially inward and cold forms the aluminum into tight engagement with the grooves. The stay may be used as a forestay. In this case, the rod member has an axially extending slot in which the bead of a sail is received. Further the terminal fittings may include a swivel which permits the rod member to be rotated to furl the sail.
