[quote=andyoeft]This is a timely post as I'm having a similar problem. I purchased an RS 16 XL. After raising the rig I’m completely confounded by a complication with the forward stays that hold the Jib/forestay and Spinnaker pole in place. These two sets of stays .. one pair reaching to the end of the spinnaker pole from the ends of the striker bar, and the other pair reaching up towards the base of the furler/forestay, also from the ends of the striker bar, are battling each other, causing either the spinnaker stays to be 2 -3 inches short or causing the furler/forestay stays to sag and inch or two. Neither one of these looks right. I would expect both of these stays to fit snugly. In addition the rig’s setup is different from the guidance provided in the assembly manual. Not sure if that’s due to necessity, or performance modifications, when it was first assembled last year by the original owner. Any help or guidance here would be greatly appreciated. This is my first Cat. Sailed the past 3 decades on my J24, J29 and J92. So I have lots of sailing and rigging experience but scratching my head over this. Unfortunately there is next to nothing online about this specific boat.[/quote]
