Do the stays tighten up when the mast is down and loosen as the mast is raised? I just ordered a set from Catalina Direct, measured according to their directions and it matched the rigging diagram in this forum 82". Even if I adjust them fully they only go down to 82.5" so they are quite loose when mast is up. But if they tighten up as the mast is lowered, I would want them loose when the mast is up so they don't bind. [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
