Best advice!.
In fact Port Townsend Sails insists on it.
We have yet to rig the Baby Stay which will fly a storm jib.
It also can be used for wing on wing in the trades. The
forestay has a reefer/furler. Plenty to go wrong.
Sails will be measured with Carol Hasse up in Washington
on the phone with Chris G of Spaulding directing the taping
in Sausalito.

This may not be the place for this,
the A-338 mast now has Tide Marine's STRONG TRACK
installed on the new 7/8" Schaefer external T-track.
Worried that the tear-drop profile of the mast
would not support the Strong Track which is merely installed
by pushing it up the Schaefer T-track in a molded
corresponding hollow form. Haven't used it yet
- it seems amazingly tight, one with the mast.
Waxy carbon black material is the hardest polyethylene I ever seen.
