Thanks Dave, this just confirms what I was thinking, guess I will just need to be careful while hoisting the Jib that the mast doesn't fall back.

Morning all, I am new to National 12 ownership, (indeed any dinghy ownership for quite a while) and I am about to start sailing my new National 12, Ill Wind on the Northeast coast
I put the mast up for the first time last weekend and noticed that I have a forestay and a Jib halyard, I have watched a couple of vids and noticed that there is no forestay shown, the Jib acts as a forestay while under sail, is this correct?

If this is the case, why is there a forestay at all, can't you just use the Jib Halyard as the stay while the boat is ashore ?

Any help would be much appreciated from this novice Nat 12 owner.

Kind regards

I have recently purchased this fine example of a National 12 and will be sailing her off the northeast coast next season.

The boat is still in excellent condition but the hull will need re-coating before long so this is a reach out to Cabin Boy, I would like to know what paint was used on the hull and the colour as i really like the finish as it is.
