[quote=turbohobo]most catamarans are what is termed "sloop rigged", which roughly means a single mast set forward of center, secured fore and aft with stays, however, we do not rig fore and aft per say, we use the basic tri-pod setup with a single forestay and 2 sidestays, the forestay usually attaches to bridal wires attached to the bow of the hulls forming an inverted "Y". Once the sail is raised and the main blocks attached, the force of tightening the mainsail by hauling on the mainsheet acts as a backstay balancing all opposing forces.
You will not need a backstay, clear as mud huh...... :heybaby:[/quote]
