I'm guessing that you have the back stays attached. Undo them and then attach the forestay and then attach the rear stays. Rummy In a message dated 4/21/2011 8:26:30 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, mweisner at ebsmed.com writes: Cody, After raising the mast, you should have only the six side stays secured (2 outers, 2 forward lowers & 2 aft lowers). At this point, I attach the bowstay, fixing the furling jib in place. Next, the rear stays are attached (usually third hole from bottom on the adjuster) and finally they are tensioned.
