[quote=Wolfman]Yes, that just keeps the mast from jumping off of the step while you are raising it. You could leave it in while sailing but if you ever dismasted due to a rigging failure it would also destroy your mast base casting and dolphinstriker. If you have any rig tension at all on the forestay and shrouds it shouldn't be needed.
