Wow! Thank you Rob; This is one of the most amazing things I have learned from this list; I have defended the babystay to jib trimmers ad nauseam over the years under the premise that "C&C put them on there...they must be required"; We sail on a river, so we do not get the heavy pumping situations. so now I'll have to find another reason....!

However, when the boat was brand new, on the first sail, and not tuned yet, things could go south. So, we kept them on the boats. In a violent seaway they do stabilize a pumping mast . . . .
