RE: Should the mainsail hit the backstay?



Yup, it'll do that. It is only an issue in light air. Normally it will pop through as the sail fills. In light air you may need to flip the backstay to clear it. If you are racing, keep an eye on it in the light stuff 'cause it can really make a difference in the effectiveness of the main.



Apologies for the late post. - Jim
