Has anyone replaced the baby stay on a 38 Mk2. It is a ¼ 1/19 wire braid.
I am asking b/c I discovered a crack at the swage on the mast end. Crack is pretty good, about 1.5 longitudinal. Im weighing in the following options 1. Send to rigger and have him swage identical replacement (likely no sailing this weekend) 2. Get sta-lock or norseman terminals and swage it myself, I have spare ¼ wire rope. 3. Use some of the Dyneema SK78 7mm line I have to make a babystay. Its 7200lbs and I originally bought it for my running backstays. A while back I added an inner forestay with ¼ wire rope, and running backstays so I have support at the second spreader, but if I leave it for the offseason, this crack will linger in the back of my mind every time I head out.

The self tailer does not hold the line in a predictable fashion, releasing at the most inconvenient times., Is this a common problem, and is there anyway of improving the grip with either a replacement part or modifying the existing serrations. The sheets are relatively new, and only one winch has this problem. Harold Celtic Spirit Hamilton, ON.
