[Rhodes22-list] Sidestay Question

[Julie Thorndycraft]

Just got back in from sailing and sometime during the afternoon, the port
sidestay popped out of the spreader. I have two questions:
1) Any suggestions on how to get it back in without dropping the mast?
2) How can I keep it from popping out again - I seem to recall that it was
loose the last time we had the mast down but I don't know how it is secured
inside the spreader arm. Can someone educate me on this?

Thanks,
Julie
