Wire tensions in masthead sloop rigs

Which wires in a masthead sloop rigged boat are under the highest
load?

If you want to keep the belly out of the genny, then the forestay will
have the highest load.

Merriman is long out of business but a company in Connecticut bought
the rights.

Merriman bronze buckles can't be beat.
