I really enjoy our cutter rig but on occasion it was hard to pull the yankee through the slot between the forestay and the jibstay. Our new sail is more of a genoa than a yankee and a much heavier cloth. For ease of tacking and to minimize wear and tear on the sail I wanted to make the forestay removable.
I went with Dyneema because I felt it would be easier to handle. To get the stay out of the way I made a simple ring that fastened to the forward shroud. One wrap around the ring uses up the extra length and allows me to use the toggle to pull everything taught.
