<< I am considering buying a Potter 19 but have a few questions. Does
anyone know why they don't use spreaders on the mast stays and why
don't have a rear stay? >>
Hi Keith:
The answer to the first question is that with the relatively short mast a
spreader is not needed. The backstay is an option <or better yet;
'aftermarket'>/used to be standard on HMS 18.
