You do nice work! Thanks for posting this. I’ll be installing a removable inner forestay on our boat and it’s nice to see what others have done.

Thank you for the clear footage. And for the explanation of your choices. I can take it into account for whenever I want to put an inner forstay in place myself. Greetings from The Netherlands.

Hi, McKayla! I just listened to the Liveaboard Podcast featuring you as the guest -- I really enjoyed the podcast and hearing your story! I'm excited about your plans for circumnavigating aboard SV Swirl -- what an amazing journey it will be! I'm not on it a whole lot, but I did also reach out via Instagram to show support, and I plan to sign up for your Patreon, too! Very cool about rigging SV Swirl as a cutter!!! 😊⛵ Fair winds!

Hi McKayla, great video. I'm planning to install an inner forestay myself. What mast stay attachment did you use and where did you buy it? I mean the plate with the ring. Also I see you chose to have screws. Why not rivets?
