Default Do I need Backstays on my mizzen and how to add photos
Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies, and all the great information.
I am trying to attach 2 photos of my mizzen rig, but don't seem able to do this. There are both upper and lower shrouds, and as you can see from the photo the spreaders are swept back and the upper shroud where it attatches to the deck is 18" behind the mizzen mast centreline. The mizzen is 32 ft high.
So I suppose the question is do I need Backstays, Yes or No?
