Hi All,
I launched my B361 this past Tuesday, and since I store the boat over the winter in the marina's indoor-heated storage, the yard steps and unsteps my mast every year. On Tuesday when they stepped my mast during the launch, the double backstays were twisted. I expected these to right themselves once some tension was put on the backstays, since they're on a swivel at the top of the mast, but they haven't. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, did it "fix itself," or does it require a trip up the mast. I'm not too keen on going up the mast, but I know at some point I'm going to have to for one reason or another. I've gone up halfway before to attend to different things at that height, but I've never had a need to go all the way up yet.
Anyway, in the attached picture you can sort of see what I'm talking about, circled in red. This was taken with my eye-phone, so I couldn't zoom in very well.
Thanks for any advice!!
