Dwight Yes it does. It seems when c&c started trying to make even more performance oriented designs later 80s the check stays came out. The 90sboats more so. Then the tim jacket boats had swept back spreaders and checks went away again.
I miss my swept back spreaders. I also really miss fractional rig (when I buy headsails especially) Mike ________________________________________ From: CnC-List [cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] on behalf of dwight veinot via CnC-List [cnc-list@cnc-list.com] Sent: July 28, 2015 5:10 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: dwight veinot Subject: Re: Stus-List Running Back Stays Mike...most older C&C's and especially those designed by Cuthbertson don't have swepth back spreaders or running backstays and some with over 50 feet of stick are single spreader...makes life with the rig very easy Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS d.ve...@bellaliant.net<mailto:d.ve...@bellaliant.net> On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 7:25 AM, Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: I think these may be check stays rather than running backs. Running back stays mostly on fractional rigs and are for downwind sailing as well as trim upwind. Persistence has check stays. We were concerned as you are when we were looking at boat. Other posters are correct. These are for lumpy seas over 15 knots to stop mast from pumping. When light we disconnect and attach to turnbuckles at shrouds. I have a snap shackle to reconnect to blocks on transom when wind comes up. We also changed the lines in the blocks to smaller diameter 60 Ft a side so that when using checks we let the line out downwind rather than disconnecting. These are not the pita we thought they would be but do add one extra thing to do when in use. If all boats were swept back spreaders like cc99 and 115 we would not have this discussion.

I am not planning on doing much racing, mostly cruising. I've heard of people on other types of boats just removing them all together.
