Hi David.
We don't race much, just a yearly overnight race, we don't have running
backs and have never felt the need. The boat doesn't look like it was
ever set up for them, and it is one of the original "Labatt Canada
Challenge" boats - so was raced hard.
I'm interested if this was a unique mod to your boat, or is it common?

I am ticking away at the list of to-dos in order to get Freya off of
the hard and in the water. Thoughts have gone to actually sailing her
and not just all the things that need to be done to a boat that was
left on the hard and forgotten for a few years.
In looking at the rigging today, I was reminded that Freya has a set
of running backstays. The previous owners raced her. I haven't sailed
with running backstays since our old family Narrasketuck on the Great
South Bay. Does anyone use these? If so, do you have a picture of how
they are set up on the deck? Can I safely sail without them?
Thanks for any input.
