Hello all Does anyone know: 1. typical backstay loads, with and without spinnaker, and/or resources with this kind of data? 2. construction details on the anchor points for the backstay in the 34? My 34 was raced hard for many years, I have gone pretty easy on the rig. As I get ready to push the boat a little, I am concerned about the rig, especially at the backstay since there are obvious signs of stress externally, i.e extensive spider web surface cracks in the gel coat. Any input would be greatly appreciated - Thanks
