Its a B*^^er
If yours is anything like mine:- First go up the mast and undo the grub screw which locks the top unit to the forestay wire which prevents the swivel coming off the top of the luff spar. Would you believe it this grub screw is arranged to bite right into the wire! Then raise the whole unit up the forestay to get to the bottle screw and make the necessary adjustments. Then go up the mast again to lock the top unit off again with the grub screw. If only wanting to INCREASE mast rake then slack off backstay and any aft leading shrouds and insert another toggle (or two/three!) in the forestay. Make sure the genoa halyard is attached to the stemhead, wound hard down and locked off before removing the clevis pin on the forestay.
