 Rich-Please send me copies of Ed's pictures that you discussed. How much of a diference in sailing performance were you able to see with the checkstays? What was the upper range of the wind speed that you used them? Thanks! Len Kremer- Owner, Capo 30

Len,

Here is that email with the photos. We typically stopped using them when we were in blade conditions because you want the main flattened out. We would put hand tight tension on with the blade up to stop the mast from pumping.
