Help, when i step the mast on my capri 18, once the mast is in place we are about 3.5 inches away from sucering one or the other backstay or four stay.
When we use a ratchet ty-down attached to the back of the trailer and the other end attached to the back sty boom halyard and after a few clicks the rig makes a boom and loud sound like something not set, and then we are within less than a 1/4 and its easy to secure the bow plate. This seems not right to me, this is my first sailboat I don't want to hurt something would like someone's help please.
Thanks
Joe
