Hello. I have an '81 O'day 22 and wonder which hole on the bow plate you use for the mainstay and for the jib. thx!

My boat is of a similar vintage and size. My stem fitting looks like this:

I connect my forestay to the middle fitting and connect the tack of the jib behind it. This leaves the front one open, where I could presumably connect an asymmetrical spinnaker or a jib downhaul. I usually leave it open.

Caveat: I have no idea if this is the best practice. It may be better to have the forestay all the way at the front, I don't know.
