I'd suggest tensioning the Dyneema forestay from the foredeck, if you have to go up there anyway, rather than leading aft--it'll only take a moment to pull it all tight, and there'll be one less line back there. I use cascading Antal rings for my running backstays, and they work fine.

Great info Benz. Vary encouraging, thank you. I think you have a good point about tensioning at the stay. I'm wondering about cleating that setup. Also do you have any pics showing your backstay cascade?
Thx,
