Baby stay / Check stays

 

It is connected to a metal plate underneath the deck. Where it is connected the deck looks thicker then just beside. I haven't spoken to the sparecraft dealer about the result since I picked my boat up last saterday and he is on holiday right now. They still have to finish the runners.

 

I will make a picture of it and post it later.

 

Cheers,

As the babystay connection is just aft of the bulkhead of your anchor locker, it will be a very strong point.  There is no danger of lifting the deck.

This is really a good construction.

 

Will you keep the babystay in position when not in use, or do you disconnect it and fix it at the side of the boat?

Thanks for the feedback.

 

My idea is to remove the baby stay when I don't need it. The same with the runners.

 

In preparation for our Atlanic crossing we will be making a few (longer) sailing trips in march and april, so we can test the new stays and the new sails (Genua 2 and Storm jib). I will make some pictures as well.

 

Cheers,

Sorry for the late reply. I was away for a sailing trip the last 5 days.

 

I am pretty sure that the sleeve is also from North Sails, just like the sails.

 

It does take some effort to take down, but it does work.

 

I have just bought a new genua and I did put a UV strip in the sail. I will use the sleeve when I leave the boat for the rest of the week. When on a sailing trip I will not use it.

 

I will check this weekend to be sure that it is from North Sails.

 

Cheers,
