Rigging and Performance

Did you know???

Proper rig tune will give you better sailing performance up wind as well as downwind.  Your headstay should be as tight as you can pull up with and still pin it at the bow after raising the mast.  Upper and lower shrouds should be tight, but not so tight that you can play music on them.  The mast should be angled slightly aft, with a little bend at the top.  Sight up the mast track to be sure the mast is straight from side to side after tuning.
