Doreen,

Great to hear some activity and advice coming through on the site. I am
experimenting with mast rake and wedging the mast. can anyone out there
provide me with some details or measurements on what they know is a good mast
rake for what conditions?

Regards

Tim

Hi Sam

For the mainsheet a rachet block with cleat is a very good option.
Much better on your hands.
Make sure that the cleat position is right, just one pull and it
should be able to un cleat it self straight away.

What I will do is that in two weeks when we are sailing again I will
make some close up photo's of main/ jib sheet rigging etc. So you can
get a idea how other people are rigging there boats.

If anybody would like to have a particular photo's showing any part
of the rigging just let me know.

Cheers Doreen
