[quote=MN3][quote]I really doubt that you can break the mast with the jib. I also doublt that the halyard helps as a backstay unless it's dyneema, otherwise it would just stretch.[/quote]
I would agree there is little risk to the mast with jib alone (under most conditions)- I was new to spinnaker sailing and I think I was overly concerned when i wrote that 8 years ago.[/quote]
