Tuning Notes 11-17-2017
Here are tuning notes from 11/17/2017:
- Mast butt-possibly move forward 5mm
- Loos gauge @22 for 250 lbs on stainless wire shrouds.
- Lower mast marked in red to the center of the tension block.
- Shrouds - no play in them; measure with a square to balance left to right angle sweep.
- Spreader length - set at 445mm - very heavy crew weight. Target is 435 for heavy. Longer is stiffer.
- Sweep is 185, vs 190, Nick thinks even stiffer
- In hiking conditions, head stay tight!
- To tighten head stay, more ram to straighten the mast.
- Tight headstay keeps the slot open
- Reduce shackle on jib tack - smaller, lower the sail.
