Running Backstay setup

[Auspicious]

From a sailing point of you, think about how you will use your winches on each tack and how you will get from one to the other. Make sure you have enough and lines lead fair to primaries and--if you have them--secondaries.

We ran out of winches on a Beneteau 50 and ended up with the spinnaker flying from the masthead otherwise unsupported. It was quite a night, and a wonderful bar story. Not so good at the time.
