Added new forstay last fall and this was the first time I noticed the stay very loose when running. I think the stays are adjusted ok but as Jenny stated mast "bends like a wet noodle". Anyone else find the mast to bend forward that much. I'm new to the Harpoon and was concerned. Have not yet used spinnaker--that should put added bend to mast! Any thoughts? Larry in LA
