as a newbi:

how to fix a removeable forstay -- not a furling version - while sailing the genoa?

How to fix it?
vertical in front of the mast is not possible, because the length is to big.
Does anyone have a pictures ?

Thanks a lot for answeres

Check out Johnson Marine Supply for quick release innerforestay levers and hardware for keeping the forestay tidy at the mast.
www.csjohnson.com
And if you're not a DYI guy, a good rigger can mount the hardware.

forstray bridle

Thanks for the quick answere.
I checked from the webside of Jahnson Marine.
My question: The forestay then will push the mast while sailing in waves.
I think, I can't increase the tension so much to prevent the stay pushing the mast.

At the moment, we pull it to the buttom of the shrouds. But so the stay touchs the saling......So we are looking for a better solution.

inner forestay

JR: I think you are talking about when the inner forestay is disconnected and hanging down at the mast (while sailing with the regular genoa).
In this case you need the 'Inner Forestay Storage Bridal'. also from Johnson marine. This allows you to 'curve' the wire at the deck aft where you can tension it. You could even set up a small 4:1 block and tackle to really make it tight.
Their Catalog number: 49-250

Bridgal

Hi Bob,

thanks for your explanation, sorry my english is bad.

Yes you are right. I'm talking about using the regular genua.

My question:
Using the 'Inner Forestay Storage Bridal' shown in all picture in the web the inner forestay coming down vertical, parallel, the mast.

The forestay may 12-14m ( 30-40ft) long - sorry I don't know now.
So the forestay starts swinging when sailing and the forestay may touch the mast or the saling.

To understand your solution:
Do you recoment me to increase the tension? I think the fix point for the Bridgal should maybe 1m ( 3ft) before the mast.

this pic shows a little diffent solution, but there is no tension on the forestay, so it will touch the mast!

The formely owner puts it allway the the foot of the shroud, it allway touch's the salings when using the regular genua.
Thats the reason, I looking for a new solution.

Thanks a lot for your answere's

Josef,
No worries, sometimes my English isn't so good too!
I would do it just like in the photo...but I would attach a small block and tackle, maybe a 3 or 4:1 purchase to the end of the stay and then pull it on
tight to tension the wire.
The new Bridal that Johnson makes is more robust (might be that one in the picture) and you could tension it up and reduce the amount it's going to move. Of course, you'll never get it so tight it won't move, but adding some tension will help alot.
