As someone else said, a halyard to the toe rail somewhere near the pointy
end is recommended.

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?
