This is kind of like the grass being greener on the other boat, I have though how handy it would be to have that track when I get into spinnaker pole problems. Popping my babystay off is like releasing a chain binder on a big rig. So, quite often (most often) is doesn't happen.

I'd like to change it for a pad eye and get rid of the track, which impedes lounging. He's anyone else done this?

In rough seas, it keeps the mast from pumping. Because of the "tree trunk" mast, it allows you to bend the mast in heavy air. Some of the 35's have a padeye with a babystay and pelican hook attachment. Others (like mine) have a track so you can adjust the babystay. This is especially important when racing. For instance, in light air, when going downwind and when doing dip pole gybes, you want to release the babystay all the way Alan Bergen C&C 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR When I purchased my boat I was told the babystay needs to be rebedded. Do I even need a babystay with that tree trunk of a mast? _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
