I would listen to XJS John for cruising in this part of the world, but only when he is slightly sober ( not often) . I have put masts on bavarias, and can honestly say that to get the mast to stand you have to be careful you can still open the master cabin door.

We used to know when we had put too much backstay on when the cooker would fall out of its gimbals!
