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.

Subject: Stus-List Adjustable backstay?

 

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.
