Stayless wishbone corsets

[iangrant]

is it best to use a whalebone stayless corset for the old bad back when sailing or a unit suported with conventional rigging?

Tome jump in here if you wish on ladies sizes.

Think it depends what type of sailing you do. The stayless corset is very popular at E Head, whereas one tends to see a lot more conventional rigging around the major yacht clubs

Thanks Tome
If i change corsets for the fully riggered type would that be more suitable for crossing out of the harbour entrance and down to say cowes?

Well, I think if you're going to be that ambitious you should invest in a Solent rig but don't expect the NCA to follow you - there's some really big seas out there

I'm going for a fine swelling spinnaker caressed by a gentle breeze

Stop that young man, you have me all laughing, and that is a tad non comfy after my back surgery, and the family are having a field day with me in my surgical corset (no whale bone, steel !) and I do not need comments about the surgical stockings (not attached to the corset itself!), son says it is Essex man all over!

Thanks for the humour!
