Just put up my main sail for the 1st time today. I've never had a boat with a back stay. On my 1988 C&C 30MKII sail hits the leach. How's that supposed to work? ___ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members. If you like what we

The wind should push the leach past the backstay. If not you can usually shake the backstay (fore and aft) and the addition of wind will push the leach past. Otherwise, just let the traveler down. Keep and eye on the leach for wear. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jul 4,

Are you sure it's hitting the backstay, or is it hitting the (main boom) topping lift? It's relatively common for topping lifts to interfere with main leeches. After raising the main you need to ease the topping lift enough for the leech to clear it. If you get a rigid vang you don't need a topp

When the main is full, the leach probably won't hit the back-stay. If it does, it will get past the back-stay when you tack, except in very light air. In that case, you might have to let out the traveler, or as a last resort, lower the sail until it clears, and then raise it. Another thing you c

Lorne, Get out the roach spray! As others have said, not a big deal. Your main has some extra roach. Both of my mains do also. Wouldn't have it any other way. The only time it will be an issue is light air. Then, like others have suggested, give the back stay a whack, drop the traveler or eas

You can add a crane to the top of the mast – some have a springy batten or stainless strap – some are fixed. If you race, it may cause problems with your handicap. Or, the simplest – just don’t haul the sail all the way up – keep it down an inch or so and use the Cunningham to firm up the luff.

If it is anything like mine the cable is swagged to a 1/2" diameter rod (for lack of better term). Within About 1/2" from the end there is a 1/4" hole. The rod passes through a hole in the end of the centre board and a 1/4" bolt goes through a hole in the centre board and through the rod. Thi
