What is the difference between a Checkstay and a
Running Backstay? *[1 pt]

A running backstay is usually found on a fractional rig. It attaches
to the mast near the headstay attachment point and is used to adjust
headstay tension since the backstay on a fractional is used mostly to
bend the mast. Checkstays are usually found on a masthead rig and
usually attach at 1 or 2 points around the middle and upper third of
the mast. They are used to straighten the rig to power it up.
