Hi Dan,
Only ease the backstay a little bit. The normal shroud tension is okay.
Cheers, Russ

Actually, this is only the backing plate in the photo. At a second
glance that last bolt and the plate itself does look rusty. The
chainplate is on the other side and I won't know how it looks until
I've removed it. I'll be sure to check it over thoroughly and
replace if necessary. I'm not too woried if the backing plate has
pits or cracks - it won't be under the same stresses as the chainplate itself.
I do have one big question - If I want to remove the headstay at
dock like this, can I just secure it down to the toe rail with lines
then remove the attachments? Should I be letting off all of the
stays to do this?
