Has the pin in front of the mastplate another function than for rising and lowering the mast?
When I grind in or out the amas, the mast is poorly stabilized by the loose backstays, the mast is wobbling.
I think, when the bolt is placed for sailing, the mast is laterally fixed by the bolt on the cabin roof - this would put a lot of stress on the hull structure.
On the other hand - a wobbling mast makes me feel uneasy
What are experiences and recommendations of other owners?

as far as I know you should never (!) apply the mast pin when you are sailing.
It's for raising and lowering the mast only.
Have a good one

Thanks for your fast response.
So, fold and unfold only in conditions like described in the manual
Kind regards
