Re: Stus-List Adjustable backstay?

Talk to other 30mkII about the specifics of your mast Lorne. The 34+/36xl has very racy-flexible mast from what I've seen and a significantly taller rig. (love those 34+/36's!). To get the mast on my 30mkII to bend 6" would be on the top end of loads for the mast section and height that we have in

Hi Lorne, You have a "mast head rig". Full rig is a term better suited for bigger ships. Be thankful for the adjustable backstay. It's nice to have. Downwind work = tension off Upwind work = tension on, more wind = more tension It's that simple. The subtleties come with how much tension to
