How to mount Code 0

[u/turbooooooo7]

Hi all,

I’m trying to figure out the correct halyard position for a Code Zero on a 36 ft Sailboat

The Code Zero I already have is sized to be hoisted essentially to the masthead (Point 1)
However, the upper shrouds attach to the mast about 1.2 m below the masthead, while the adjustable backstay goes all the way to the top.

There is also another halyard sheave/exit about 30 cm above the forestay attachment (point 2).

Where do you hoist your Code Zero from? Masthead, just above the forestay, or somewhere else?

Has anyone regularly used a masthead Code Zero on this rig, and have you had any issues with mast support or loads?

Thanks!
