Hello

did you ever get your running backstays set up?

I purchased my boat in Mallorca and sailed across through Panama and now am in Mexico.  I am planning a trip across the Pacific and am considering putting in an inner forestay and running backstays.  So, I would be interested in what you did.

I recommend contacting your Selden dealer. They know exactly how it should be done.
I am fitting an inner forestay on my B55 (2010) and as long as it is fixed no lower than 1 meter from the original forestay, no backstays are needed.
