<p>Andrew,</p>
<p>It depends on the crane - at RYC you don't need to remove the
backstay, just pull the starboard guy rope attached to the
internal sling a bit more than the port one so boat leans away
from the crane (for safety since you know it will fall away from
you, and to keep mast away from top of crane). In Monterey and
Santa Cruz the crane comes in from the end and you do have to take
out backstay.</p>
<p>People run a rope attached to main halyard down to a cleat behind
the shrouds, though depending on your mast foot and step it
*might* stay up without it :)</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hey,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering if anyone has any experience in dry sailing
the Santana 22, specifically I'm having issues with the
backstay clearing the boom of the lift. I can usually get it
by adjusting the side lines to lean the boat as it's coming
up, but I was wondering if this is the right or only way. Does
anyone have any experience with taking down the backstay while
lifting the boat? Is the backset of the shrouds enough to keep
the mast stable? </div>
