After looking at Hobie 14 tuning guides online I noticed my mast rake angle was far less than what was recommended.
The measurement from the main sail insert on the mast to the weighted down halyard on a level boat was 45".
The guide showed 55" was about right for someone 160 lbs
but this was for a 14 not a 14 Turbo.
Should the mast rake be set to these specs regardless of the jib? I weigh 160 as well.
If so, I will definately need to add a shroud adjuster to the forestay/jib. Any problems doing this?

Thanks in advance,
