Alex,

My forestay goes to the masthead.

I use a jib furler now. When I hanked on the jib; the halyard pulled the jib up the forestay, but as the jib approached the halyard block the angular difference put a strain on the forstay.

It was never a problem, but it just didn't seem right. In fact it prompted me to go to the furler.

Thanks for the info.

Smooth sailing!

David.
