Just a thought, and I 're- made my floor boards this winter,is to make a slit
all the way the the edge so you can remove without taking it out. On my boat
it is pretty close to edge. I could send you photo.
Why? What if you need to get to that area quickly?

Subject: Stus-List Slacking the Baby Stay
Date: Mon, Aug 25, 2014 10:52 AM
My 1989 C&C 30 MKII has rod rigging and a baby stay. Above the deck, the baby
stay is wire rope, unlike the rest of the rigging. Below the deck, in the
V-berth, the tension of the baby stay is carried through a piece of rod rigging
that is attached to the stringers under the cabin sole.
I am redoing my cabin sole and I'm going to have to temporarily remove the rod
rigging in V-berth (because it passes through a hole drilled into the small
piece of cabin sole just past the forward bulkhead).
I am concerned that if I slacken the rod rigging in the V-berth (which seems to
be under tension) there will be too much force placed on the deck by the baby
stay (which is also under tension). I have also wondered what the effect would
be if I put a pelican hook or similar on the baby stay above the deck (i.e.,
would releasing the baby stay then put too much tension on the rod rigging in
the V-berth?).
Is there any particular method that I should use here? Also, when I do unatach
the rod rigging in the V-berth, how can I be sure to get everything back at the
right tension (assuming that my back stay is slackened)?
Thanks in advance. It's great to be part of this community!
