Wouter,

Another great post, thanks for sharing the info. This system is very nice!

I'm curious how often you do re-rake? Do you do it for higher vs lower winds or for uni vs sloop, or both? I had heard most people say they generally settle on a single average mast rake and leave it at that for most wind conditions and even uni vs sloop. But I would have to think that re-raking can make a difference. Maybe most people don't do it becuase it's a pain.

By the way, on my dinghy I use the lever shroud adjusters. I'm sure you are familiar with them. They are actually pretty nice. You pop a pin to release the lever and the shroud de-tensions by lengthening slightly so the mast can't fall down. Make a quick adjustment and the lever gives some leverage so you can re-tension without hanging on the trap (unless you want it really tight). Have you ever used these?
