Hi

I am answering in response to your query about the line that goes over the
mast at the stern of the Potter 19 while towing.

The line that goes up over the mast from the two stern cleats seems to serve
the purpose of holding the mast in the crutch. I once forgot to tie this
line on and when I arrived home, I found the mast lying on the cabin top.
Certainly if I had continued traveling I would have found the mast step
mangled in some way. Fortunately the lake is a mere 15 miles for the house.
