Hi All,
I have a single back stay, non adjustable. I would like to make an adjustable one. Has any one made one with a single back stay, putting a block system between the wire and the single attachment point. Catalina direct offers an double back stay job. I don't want to get involved in adding a second attachment point if I don't need to.

Matt - the problem with using the single backstay is that, when tensioned, it would pull the masthead to the side of the attachment rather than straight back - NOT a good idea.
