So, there's really a continuum, from strait, 'Loose diamonds' through 'raked spreaders' and on into 'true prebend' depending on sail and mast and slot considerations? Example, Mark Michaelson sez they tried to get the N5.5 SL to prebend and after much fiddling, settled on raked spreaders with almost enough diamond wire tension to induce a true prebend....



It's all coming clear to me.



Thanks!
