Advice please -- I want to put a topping lift on my M17. I have never used one before. Does one leave it attached at all times, even when under sail, or do you disconnect it after raising the sail?

Leave attached and loose in heavier air but in light air tension to give a fuller sail and of course to keep the boom out of the cockpit when reefing or dropping the sail. Dick, NS26 Swoose
