Swept back spreaders
What is the purpose of swept back spreaders vs those perpendicular to the mast on a rig that still has a backstay?

Aside from the issue of chainplate attachment, can swept back spreaders be moved forward? The stays on my rig terminate approx 10" behind the base of the mast and it is an obstacle to tabernacleing (sp?) the mast to fit under a bridge.
