Do you have a baby stay?

It works the exact same way with the masthead rig. Think about
pulling the string back on a bow (Bow and arrows) it has the exact
same effect. It moves the top down and back / bows the mast in middle
(Your mast has flexibility built into it for that reason) thus
flattening the main and tightening the forestay / flattening the
entry on the genoa as well. When I crank on my back stay the mast
head bends down / back about 6 inches, you can see it if you sight it
as someone cranks on the backstay.

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.
