Understanding Jackstays and Their Importance in Sailboat Stability

Jackstays are a type of stay that is used to support the mast of a sailboat. They are typically made of wire or rod and are attached to the mast at the top and to the deck or keel at the bottom. Jackstays provide additional stability to the mast and help to prevent it from being pushed sideways by the wind or waves. They can also be used to help control the angle of the mast and the shape of the sails.
