Loose
Forestay A loose forestay will increase the sag and depth of the sail making it rounder. This will make it easier to steer, however you won't be able to point as high. A looser forestay is desirable for choppy seas or light air. |

Tight
Forestay A tight forestay creates a flatter sail with fine entry. This is used when wishing to point high in medium and heavy airs. |
