I'm not sure that was the forestay you heard Rich.  I know when I sail my 15 in high winds, that's me that making that high-pitched sound...  t

Subject: M_Boats: songs of the forestay

Just returned from several days of sailing on Trinity Lake.  The northerly afternoon winds
made for some exciting experiences.  When close hauled It seemed everytime the windmeter indicated winds above 19 knots the forestay would sound a high pitched tune.
 
Is this to be expected or is the forestay tension too tight?
