Graham,
We release the baby stay any time the #1 is in use. The rest of the time it is tensioned, even in the slip. When the #3 is up, it tacks cleanly through the foretriangle. I have seen the mast pump before and know the benefits of the baby stay. It’s seldom used on the Chesapeake, but it definitely serves a purpose.

We've got the adjustable babystay, but don't race, so usually it gets tensioned at the beginning of the season and then at some random time during the summer someone kicks the clutch, and eventually I discover that it isn't tensioned. Would it be worth a survey? I'm curious how many owners actually have and actively use the baby stay. Graham Collins Secret Plans C&C 35-III #11
