An alternative is to hoist the main first, sheet it in tight, and use it as a substitute back stay. Worked fine on my M15. ~~~_/)~~~ Gary Sent from my iPhone :-)

Of course you can. But you'll have to reduce the size of the main, or fool with the mast head fitting to accommodate a backstay. Almost anything is possible Bert. Just because nobody has done it, doesn't mean it can't be done. t

you can't put a backstay on a standard M15 because of the large roach in the main.
