Hi All,
I have a Beneteau First 375 with a deck stepped mast. I would like to get more rake in the mast by lengthening the fore stay and shortening the back stay by about an inch. My concern is that by doing so I would change the compression angle on the compression post down below. I am also afraid that the forward part of the mast at the deck would lift off of the deck. I cant seem to be able to point in wind below 10 kts. The boat is extremely fast with winds above 12 kts
Any advice ?
Thanks Live Wire
