I don't think we have the same definition of "over-rotated"

To me that means that the mast is rotated AT LEAST 90 degrees to the boat. That is why those "over-rotator arms" Murrays catalog page 34, are shaped that way, because you cannot pull a mast beyond 90 with a normal arm.

Now you say that your main in "nearly centered" "and tight to provide backstay".

Is that with the mast rotated 90+?

Are you twisting the base of your mast in one direction with the rotator, while the main is twisting the top in the other?



Don't forget, he doesn't have the massive mast your 6.0 has, (what does?) his mast is the same as my 18 sq.
