Hello,
Big can of variables there. The best thing would be to have no springstay. Moving the current one to the masthead would simply amplify the (now unopposed) pull of the jumpers. It isn't likely that your weight would be a significant load for the short cantilever up top; I'm much more concerned about not having a mizzen stays'l. So consider a reconfigured system, with aft-angled uppers over raked spreaders, forward-led intermediates, aft-led lowers, and no springstay. What is this boat?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
