Jake's pretty much right on. You should have a baby stay that will secure the mid point of the mast in space allowing backstay adjuster to bend the mast aft and flatten the main. Primarily you're looking to increase forestay tension.

Your adjustable backstay is used to control forestay tension. You probably won’t get a lot of mast bend, but as I recall the 30-2 had a skinny mast. It may flatten your main a bit too.

I'm new to sailing. My C&C 30MkII has an adjustable back stay. However, I have watched a couple sailing videos and they say with a full rig vs. fractional, it cannot be adjusted because the back and front stays are attached at the top. How do you adjust the mast rack/bend with a back stay if the fore stay is attached at the same point? Keeps answers simple for me...don't know all the lingo yet. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
