    At minimal backstay pressure about (600psi), Windswept doesn't have =
any mast prebend, i.e. the aft edge is straight. =20
    Prebend should be based on the amount of luff curve built into the =
mainsail. So, probably, it would be best for you to take your sail to =
your sailmaker for evaluation, and subsequent determination of a =
suitable amount of prebend.
