The difference might be in what furler you're using. I have the old Hood SL that replaces the standard turnbuckle and adjusting forestay length is a complex operation. I ease backstay and shrouds to move the masthead forward enough to remove the clevis pin without changing the headstay length.

I understand the Shaffer unit fits over the standard turnbuckle and is a lot easier to adjust.
