Running Back Stay Location

[John Stone]

Ben,
Thanks. I am thinking the same thing but want to make sure I get it right before I drill the holes and put the hardware package together. I want to avoid more winches if I can. I like the tackle idea and have discussed the colligo rings that you mentioned with my spar marker. He likes that approach as well. I am leaning towards a solution like that but have more research to do on the components are.

Thanks again Ben.
John

My HR40 came with running backs so I have what I have and never ran the numbers.

The backs park at the base of the aft lowers. In use, they hook to big fittings that share backing plates with massive stern cleats and the turning blocks for the spinnaker sheets. I have 4:1 tackle and can take the tail to a winch if I'm tired.
