O'Day 26 back-stay
John, I'm guessing that you need to replace your back-stay. Can you take your old back-stay off your mast? If you can take it off and bring it to a rigger, I'm sure he could make you up a new back-stay, even if the old one is broke in two or twisted and kinked. One of our club members owns a 1986 O'Day 26 keel centerboard mast head sloop, but I doubt if he knows how long his back-stay is, off the top of his head. Good luck with that.Joe
