The boat has backstays (mid mast), but not one from the top of the mast
to the transom, if thats what you"re talking about.



Also, remember you're sailing a "Knockabout" Enjoy what it give you. (I
learn that from my female crew) You're not going to beat full racing
boats But you can sail with them; on a Hdcp base and not boat for boat.


Are you saying don't try to make a silk purse outta a sows ear? :0)
