Mast position
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 12:15 pm
Well, time to revisit the rig tuning again! It's finally time to lengthen my headstay, which I will probably just to by adding a pair of stainless tangs to the headstay. When experimenting with the headstay length yesterday I realized that I can't get any more rake in my mast without inducing some prebend. I am blocked all the way forward at the base and all the way back at the deck. To get anymore plain rake, I would have to do structural modifications to one of the locations. Has anybody had to to this, or do you just live with the prebend that comes along with the rake?
