Interesting...I'm leaning enough to feel confident I can get this right and scared enough that I wish I'd stayed with my sunfish! The boat has set for at least 2 years with the mast down. The previous owner said all I had to do was raise the mast, connect the stays and I'd be good to go. I think I'll drop the mast again and start over. Something's just not right. Should it take 2 of us pushing on the mast to get the forestay to reach? That seemed excessive.
Thanks for your answers.
