How do you bend the mast on the Express 30? Is there a baby stay?

Yes, the boat has a babystay. The babystay has some effect on mast bend but
it's really there to eliminate the need for fore and aft lowers. The babystay
also keeps the rig from pumping in waves. We disconnect the babystay in flat
water and moderate breezes.
