Hunter 240 rigging

[travorgeron]

Trying to figure out my rigging on my new to me 2004 Hunter 240. Looks like the mast has a large aft rake, (I believe that’s what you call it). Should I do anything about this or is it good? Looking for any pointers you can give me to help me get is set up correctly. Thanks

That does look a little off. If the mast is not bent then I’d say your shrouds are too tight. Try loosening the shroud turn buckles a quarter turn at a time while tightening the forestay turnbuckle.

Rgranger thanks for the reply. I will be back at the boat taking it out on Tuesday so I will try to make some adjustments then. Just to be sure I’m doing things right, with my roller furler, there is no fore stay on the boat so I don’t think I can adjust anything there. Should I ease the tension on all the shrouds are just the ones that attach to the top of the mast?

You should have a turn buckle between the drum and the foil

Mast rake is normal on these Hunter B&R Riggs. My H25 has a 4” rake designed in the rigging. You should be fine as long as the mast is vertical side to side.

Mast rake is normal my 1998 is at least 6 inches

I've recently been working on tuning mine as well. Here is where mine is currently, after much fiddling and starting over. I still feel like there might be too much bend but I haven't been able to get it out and I'm tired of messing with it now. Ha ha.
