Headstay Adjustment
Andy, Welcome to the world of the MAC25, I bought mine in April. Fortunatly there are 2 others in my marina to help me. On to you question. My rigging did not have a turnbuckle when I bought it. It does now. I am not an expert but I do rig aircraft flight controls. It sounds like you need to tighten the head stay more. But while doing so keep checking the side stays don't over tighten. Mine had those silly pin type attachments not turnbuckles. I replaced them all actualy. What Doug said is exactly what my friends told me to do. It works just great. It is possible that the cables have stretched. They do! This winter I am doing a full cable replacement. Mine is an '85, I figure 18 years is a long time. On airplanes we replace much more often that that.Brian M.
