Hi all,
In the 216 rigging instructions, it is noted that the forestay should be fixed to the after-most hole in the fitting at the bow. Has anyone moved it forward to increase the tension on the jib luff? I would just go ahead, but I suspect that the mast will be tensioned forwards ... reducing any rake-to-aft advantage.
I have the outer shrouds at ~35 (on the Loos tensiometer) and the inners at ~25. If the forestay is moved forwards, I would guess that thee should also change ...
Any advice?
