Jake how many sails and how many times did you adjust before it locked into a range +/1 1/8 of stretch (ie Final stretch point)


It didn't take long. It was done stretching mostly after the first day. It was a good day with 12+ winds so I was on the wire most of the day. That evening I remember looking at it thinking "crap, that stretched a lot" and I had to resplice it.
