Reply To: Cutter Ketch inner stay position

[Ryan Doyle]

Hi Chris and John,

We have a detachable inner stay on our 1983 424 ketch Juniper.

We have not used it yet, but here is a photo of the attachment point right behind where our furler/forestay attaches.

We know this as a Solent stay. Whether that’s the correct term, I’m not sure. The stay is wire and has a large lever and clasp that attaches to that point For easy hookup. Tension is adjusted by a halyard at the base of the main.

I hope this is helpful. The boat is currently wrapped up on the hard otherwise I’d make a little video and show you how it attaches.

Regards,
Ryan and Kathleen
Juniper
