We’ve been sailing this summer with two exhausted composite headsails (110&125) 
purchased with our 37, Sirius.

The leeches on both sails reveal a tortured  past with the babystay. With a new 
Precision tiradial 120 coming over winter, we’re practicing tacks with no 
babystay contact, backwinding lightly to pull the sail over.

Improvement needed.

For those of you with babystays, what strategies do you employ to avoid sail 
contact with the stay and/or minimizing damage?

I’ll search archives, too. Thx
