Default Lower Fore-stay add on question

In a previous boat I owned, it had a baby stay attached much the way
Wayne described it, a pad eye on deck, and a wire with turnbuckle in
the v Berth. It gets in the way of course, but it is a solution. In
my current boat, an Olson 40, there's a baby stay, not to run a cutter
sail on but to give the mast bend, and keep it from pumping in waves.
It's attached thru the deck, (a bit nuts, but works) to a hydraulic
piston attached to the keel stringer. It can be tightened in the
cockpit.

On the same boat there is also a rig for a cutter, though not a storm
jib. It's a pad eye mounted to a 1 inch track which is simply bolted
to the deck. I'm sure this isn't a high wind situation, but rather
some kind of cutter rig light air trick, not exactly sure, and I
haven't had the boat long enough to give it a try. But it will be fun
to do so.

good luck

Luc
