I haven'y been running much mast rake. I'm in the 4th hole up on the shrouds, 6th hole from the bottom on the forestay. Next time its rigged I'll do like the 20 guys do and measure it with a trap line from the bow, or bridle anchor, and see where it lands on the rudders or where ever.

I have no clue what I have for diamond wire tension, (I haven't coughed up the cash for a loos gauge yet). The bottom of the adjuster, the part that rides on the plate on the mast, is almost 1/2 way down. Spreaders are set at 2-1/8" -or- 54mm from the tips of the spreaders to the mast track. The tuning guide says I should be more around 2-3/4"

With about 15mph (guest-imate)winds, these settings rocked. Could be better, not sure though. It felt and acted really sweet.

Tension on the rig? Don't know, as tight as I can get it with my 160lb butt hanging in a trap seat.

Jeremy has been running a ton of rake, which at his weight I think might be a mistake.
