I think I can see baby-stays in the Nor'Sea pics, but I'm not sure . .

Thanks, I can see how it works. When doing it
by yourself there is the danger of wind causing the mast to go to one side or
the other unless supported by some baby stays. My boat does not have the metal
toe rail to attach to so it will take some thinking as to where to add
them.
I have used a "A" frame in the past but do not see on the M17
where it can attach. I used the stanchions on my old boat.

We cannot direct
the wind,
but we can adjust our sails.
