proper mast angle

proper mast angle - 07/11/01 04:43 AM

i don't know if it is called rake or something else, but my mast seems to be leaning way back. is this correct or should i tighten up the shrouds and forstay to get more of a 90 deg. angle versus the hulls?

FAT CAT
<br>
<br>THE MAST ON A 16 SHOULD BE RAKED BACK AS FAR AS YOUR SAILS WILL ALLOW.
<br>
<br>WITH A SNUG JIB HALYARD TENSION, SHEET IN THE MAIN BLOCK TO BLOCK AND ON THE BEACH THE TOP 2-3 PANELS SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY HOOKED. MOVE THE SIDE STAYS UP OR DOWN AS REQUIRED TO SET MAIN.
<br>
<br>MAKE SURE THAT AFTER THE MAIN IS SET THE JIB IS ADJUSTED SO THAT IT IS SNUG EQUALLY ON THE FOOT AND LEACH WHEN IT IS BROUGHT BLOCK TO BLOCK.
<br>
<br>SAIL FAST
