  • look on forestay :)

  • we'll hit the brakes and they'll fly right by.

    Nice work simon!

  • @samshnel Not really. Swept spreaders provide plenty of support for the mast and with a fractional rig backstay tension only has a limited effect on forestay tension.

  • woudlnt that amount of slack in the forestay warrant more backstay tension? I feel like a puff could do some mean things to that mast!
