Your adjustable backstay is used to control forestay tension. You probably won’t get a lot of mast bend, but as I recall the 30-2 had a skinny mast. It may flatten your main a bit too.

I'm new to sailing. My C&C 30MkII has an adjustable back stay. However, I have watched a couple sailing videos and they say with a full rig vs. fractional, it cannot be adjusted because the back and front stays are attached at the top. How do you adjust the mast rack/bend with a back stay if the fore stay is attached at the same point? Keeps answers simple for me...don't know all the lingo yet. Thanks.
