Question is regarding the baby stay on this boat and exactly what it's
advantage is. The stay shackles to a car on a track forward of the mast. It
reaches high enough that it must be removed when the spin pole goes up. It
seems to me this may add some additional prebend to the mast? Does it have to
be used in conjunction with the hydraulic backstay tensioner? Is this a
possible way to bend the mast and flatten the main without decreasing head stay
sag so much? Looking for some tips on optimal ways to use this equipment. My
approach so far has just been to set it to "just taught" amount of tension and
leaving it, pulling it a little tighter upwind when it really starts to blow,
but primarily relying on the backstay to fatten the upper main upwind. Thanks.
Erik
