Mariner 31 Mizzen backstay??

[SwampSailor]

Good morning all!

I completed the purchase of a Mariner 31 yesterday that is in liveaboard shape but not sailing shape. My primary use will be sailing so began the process of assessing the needed work on rigging/sails yesterday.

In the attached pic, I have just raised the mizzen sail and while snapping this pick I realize the backstays on the mizzen are anchored to a very rickety solar arch that has been broken free from the deck so in effect there is no backstay. I used line to anchor the arch rather hastily but as I was pondering the problem in bed last night and looking at the pics from the owners association, I can’t seem to find a good representation of how a backstay on a Mizzen with a boom extending beyond the transom should be anchored. Does anyone have any pics to be shared showing the proper split stay arrangement of a Ketch, or better yet a ketch with a solar array?
