With the stock shrouds and forestay, is it necessary to put a second stay adjuster on the forestay to be able to rake back as the wind builds? Thanks John |

Short answer - yes. You never want the forestay to go taut. All the load needs to be carried by the jib luff wire and halyard - which will stretch as you put load on. |
