That is very low. I seem to remember Taipans run of 40-42 on the loos gauge. I don't use a Loos gauge myself so I don't know what I run. I just measure the mast prebend as that the same as knowing the diamond wire tension when the spreader rake and arm length are known.

Kevin, may I ask what you guys were exactly running as the spreader arm rake and spreader length. Up till now I've only encountered measurement in the way of " ... more then on the mast of the demo boat ..." As I don't know the settings on the demo boat these numbers don't tell me much.

If this info is not cleared for publication then I'll understand.

Thanks in advance.
