I use mine when the staysail is set.
Beyond that purpose -- which may not be necessary, depending on the rig
SG has it

Agree .... also slack off the forestay when tightening the headstay
Fractional or masthead rig?
I think if you bend the mast forward
Actually, cutter rig.
I really like having them, and use them a lot...
Thanks Jon... you and SG gave me a bit of a picture.
