4.2         Spars   

   

Based    upon    the    relationships    described    above,    the    more    spreaders    and    shrouds    used   
transversely,    and    the    more    intermediate        forestays    and    running    backstays        used   
longitudinally,      the    smaller    the    allowable      mast   section   may   be.   This   can   be   advantageous    as   
weight    aloft    and    windage    may    be    reduced    in    addition    to    minimizing    the    undesirable   
aerodynamic    effect    of    the    mast    on    the    mainsail.    The    smaller    the    mast    section,    the    less   
disturbed    is   the   air   flow   across   the   main.       However,    a   practical    and   functional    balance    of   rig   
complexity    and    aerodynamic    efficiency    has    governed    the    design    of    the    rig    of    the    Tartan   
4000.        The    spar    section    and    carbon    fiber    laminate    schedule    have    been    engineered    to   
provide    a   strong,   stiff   and   safe   mast   while   minimizing   weight   aloft.   
   
Tuning    involves    adjusting    the    tension    in    these    shrouds    and    stays    so    that    the    mast    will   
remain    straight    in    most    sailing    conditions        with    an    appropriate        amount    of    rake    for   
comfortable       helm    balance.          Tuning    is   carried    out    in    two    phases    -­‐    tuning    at    the    dock    and   
tuning   while   under   sail.   

   

4.3            Tuning   at   the   Dock   

   

All    turnbuckles    are    equipped    with    toggles    at    their    base,    which    eliminates    bending    load    on   
the   swage   and   turnbuckle    threads.         Toggles    are    fitted    to    both    ends    of    the    forestay.         As    the   
boat    tacks    and    the    headsail    loading    varies    from    side    to    side,    the    forestay    terminals    are   
subject   to   extreme   fatigue   loading.   

   

Start    tuning    the    spar    by    ensuring    that    the    mast    is    in    the    center    of    the    boat,    perpendicular   
to    the    designed   transverse      water    line.          Your    boat    may    not    sit    level    at    the    dock    due    to   
distribution      of    gear,    stores    and   tankage    levels,    so   check    the   water    line   position    both   sides.      
Then    slacken    the   lower    shrouds    completely    by   undoing      their    turnbuckles.          Take    the    main   
halyard      and    lead    the    shackle      end    to    a    point    on    the    rail    or   chainplate.       Adjust    the   halyard   
so    that    the    shackles    just    touch    the    reference    point    on    the    rail    or    chainplate   with    a    given   
downward    tension,    and    then    cleat    the    halyard.        Then    take    the    halyard    to    the    same   
reference    point    on    the    other    side    of    the    deck.        With    the    same    amount    of    downward   
tension,    you    will    be    able    to    just    touch    the    shackle    to    the    reference    point    if    the    mast    is   
plumb   transversely.       If   not,   let   off   one   upper   shroud   turnbuckle    and    take    up   on   the   other    in   
order    to    bring    the    masthead    closer    to    center    line    until    the    halyard    shackle    touches    both   
reference   points   under   the   same   downward   tension.   

   

The    particular    part    of    the    rail    or    deck    you    choose    as    your    reference    point    is    not    important   
as   long   as   it   is   the      same       point      on      each       side.             Once       the      mast      is      centered       transversely,      
tighten       both      upper       shroud   turnbuckles    uniformly,   one   full   turn   one   side,   then   one   full   turn   
on   the   other.      Repeat   until   the   turnbuckles   become   difficult   to   turn.      Pin   the   turnbuckles.
