Mainsail tuning on Alera is limited anyway. The
in boom furling main has a rigid vang. So,
tuning the mail limited to furling in the main
while not slacking the halyard and using the baby
stay to flatten the main. That's about it for
us. But, the ease of two handing with a couple of old farts is priceless. ;)

Tom,
The back stay with baby stay make a dramatic difference in the
handling and performance of the boat upwind when it starts to blow. I do
agree that the absence of the back stay adjuster reduces stress on the rig
and the captain. I can't imagine the chaos if the back stay attachments
failed.
