Ok hold the politics and lend us a hand.
going through a dry run, good thing, raising the mast and stays in our back
yard...using the  GB mast hoist raising system.  got the mast up safely,
good....now 2 different sets of directions come into play....

1.  we connected first the lower forward shrouds....an old version direction
said this makes mast secure etc....but should we  have connected genoa jib
stay first because now we can' t get the genoa jib stay to reach....Joe
Ware's personal version directions listed genoa first then shrouds etc.

what is the preferred order for connecting the stays?

the sooner the better we want to finish up before dark....forget taking it
down tonight.

Thanks Phyllis in NJ
