Hawk,
You mention that you have 2 to 3 inches of slack in your forestay. When I sail, I end up with between 4 to five inches of slack in the forestay. It just floats around up there. I have the jib locked into the third hole on the chainplate. Should I move to a different hole? Which direction? Sorry for the rookie questions. I just bought the darn boat and am still figuring it out.
Thanks-
John
