thank for sharing this
I'm emphatically with Brian on this one; on the mizzen, all the runners do is to keep the head of the mast from popping forward in a chop, or from the minor strain of a mizzen stays'l. On the main you are expecting them to do for the forestay what the backstay does for the jibstay. You probably would never even consider having a mere 4:1 purchase on the backstay, right?????
