One of our members, Greg Smith, was kind enough
to provide the above table from the Owners Manual.
As it turns
out, I have the mast off my boat now and I have measured the
rigging and
it differs considerably from the above. Also, after some very
carefull measurements I was able to calculate the rake of the
mast and
it's almost twice of what my Owners Manual seems to say. It's
hard to read but I think it says 3/16" per foot. My mast
is 43' - 9 3/8" from deck to top of pully box so I calculated
the design mast rake to be about 8" aft. However, my measurement
of the standing rigging I removed indicate almost twice that
rake which tends to agree with the way it handles. I'm cutting
the new rigging to restore it to the original design.
If anyone else
has any input on this, send me an email.
