You might want to check the following out from Gam. It is a SSB antenna
system that clips on to the backstay, eliminating the need for expensive
insulators and fittings. We just installed one and it worked great, 1/2 hour
job!

Most outfitters carry them like West Marine, etc. You can probably get
a better deal buying then online. Any rigger can install them for you
and will also obtain them as well. They will even come to your boat
and remove the backstay and reinstall it when finished. You can
generally save some money if you take the backstay to them.

I'd think the experienced rigger would know which insulators were best
that
would keep his customers happy and out of court, wouldn't you?

I would hope so. Not sure how the courts figure into it though.
