Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Super Maramu Staysail

Hello Bent, My post of 29/09/14 gives an answer as
follows:-
,
In case it helps, on my previous boat, an Oyster 435
I had an inner forestay fitted but it was fixed less than three feet from the
top of the mast to avoid the need for running backstays. This was on the advice
of Oyster and they called a slutter rig. I too would be interested to see how
and where to fit the track on the deck of an SM2K. The only problem with
it was that the new fixings for the inner forestay or sheave box projected into
the mast and chafed through a headstay halyard. However the rigger returned and
fixed that problem. The purchaser of that boat sailed around the world on it
without problems with it.

Staysail What about backstays? I would expect that this was required, at least in
heavy weather? |
