Just a quick question about back stays. I am having trouble fitting them to the masts, they are meant to be tied around the masts just below the cheeks but when tightening the stay they tend to slide down the mast.I had similar trouble with the Forestays and had to make some cleats to stop them riding up (see pic). Don't really want to make more, any alternative ideas ? nightwisher attached the following image(s): Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Hi Nightwisher, my solution to that problem was using a small square file I filed a small notch at the back of the stay, applied a little superglue into the notch and covered the notch with the stay, now it can't be seen. Did this on both ends of the stay and all before tightening the lines.....  .. Worked for me and didn't need to do anything further.... ... Hope this helps... Regards Alan
