Nacra 5.2 hep needed - 06/29/03 03:42 PM
I have a problem with this Nacra 5.2 of mine, I am trying to set it up for the first time and I found out that the Shroud and Forstay do not fit.
Can anyone give me the length of the Nacra 5.2 Forestay and shrouds.
I measured the shrouds at 240 1/2" (6109mm), the bridle wires at 47" (1194mm) and the forestay at 222 1/2" (5652mm)
This dosen't fit and I was forced to install an additionnal shroud ajuster between the Forstay and the Bridle wire connection. It seems that my mast is raked too far back but without knowing the lenght of the wires in the standing rigging, it might be a false impression.
I am just about to purchase longer shroud ajusters all arounf because the shrouds are hight quality hydraulic swaged and I want to keep them. If I get new ones, I would be forced to replace them with regular swaged wires with nicopress sleeves.
