Thanks for all of the replies. I currently have sidestays that have no adjustment ability. They terminate in a loop at the mast and come down to a short connector that overlaps itself and needs to be pinned with a split ring so as to not fall out. Short of getting now side stays with adjustment, they will be a bit slack. How slack it will be, I do not know. I am currently sailing on the second to last hole on the 7 hole adjustor.

Mary, how big is that hatch on your wave?
