(pic) (Jack, H23.5, Force 5, Clermont Fl.) Baby stays on a Precision are a bit of an engineering problem. The stays have to be attached to the deck at the same level as the base of the mast in order for them to be tenchioned all the time. I drew up a diagram to do that with my P18 but decided it wasn't worth the effort as the 18 mast was very easy to do with out a system. On the 23, you would need to install some kind of bracket of some sort. A wing of some sort comes to mind, measureing out about 18" from the base of the mast. This become a trip hasurad but my be worth the final result.
