[Public-List] Detaching bachstay

[Gordon Laco]

Good morning, 

There is enough set back in the aft lower shrouds to prevent the mast from falling forward… but regardless one would be wise to shackle the main halyard to something solid further aft to help.

And of course it could be said that one would be wiser to unstep the mast and avoid the whole issue.
