Stus-List Baby stay vs new headsail

We’ve been sailing this summer with two exhausted composite headsails (110&125) purchased with our 37, Sirius. The leeches on both sails reveal a tortured past with the babystay. With a new Precision tiradial 120 coming over winter, we’re practicing tacks with no babystay contact, backwinding

My boat came with a baby stay on a Schaeffer track. I replaced the track with a Harken high profile track and a Harken traveler car. I can snug it by hand, but I can also lead it to a spinnaker halyard winch through a Lewmar clutch. In light air, I release the clutch, and push the BS back to the ma

John, I agree.  I sited up the mast on Glenn Gambel's C&C 36 during the Queens cup race and notice how much the mast was pumping.  I tightened the baby stay as much as I could without using a winch and it quieted down significantly. I was not very familiar with a baby stay with our Redwing 3

Wade, Once we went to In-Line shrouds as opposed to double lowers, the baby stay was introduced to tension the mast forward . . . With experience, most boats were able to eliminate the use of the baby stay if you had even a small amount of pre-bend aft. We couldn’t rely on you setting the ma
