Stupid things running backs. Make hardly no good difference on a C 35

Good luck

of a smaller mast section with running backstays and a babystay, or a
heavier mast section without running backs. Selden no longer makes the same
mast
Hi David,
My boat has both runners and checkstays but I have a bendy rig on a C 34R.
Not sure my experience applies to your boat.

backs and have never felt the need. The boat doesn't look like it was
ever set up for them, and it is one of the original "Labatt Canada
Challenge" boats - so was raced hard.

hard and forgotten for a few years.
In looking at the rigging today, I was
