Check   the   following   CAREFULLY   

   

When    the    upper    shrouds    are    at    optimum    tension    and    when    at    about    15    to    20    degrees    of   
heel,    the    leeward   rigging    should    look    slack.    This    is    quite    appropriate      and    should    never    be   
tightened.    When    close    hauled    under    genoa    and    main,    the    forestay    may    appear        quite      
sagged.          Tensioning      the    backstay      will    reduce      the   amount      of    sag,    but    the    sag    itself      can   
never      be    eliminated.            As    a    rule    of    thumb,      the    maximum      static   backstay    pressure    should   
never   exceed   one   quarter   of   the   backstay   breaking   strength.   

   

If    your    boat    is    brand    new,    the    rigging    may    seat    and    stretch    to    the    extent    that    tuning    from   
scratch    again    will    become    necessary    in    a    matter    of    weeks.    However,    after    this    initial   
working-­‐in    period,    you    will    find    that    the    rig    tends    to    hold    its    tune    for    considerably    long   
periods    of    time.        After    becoming    used    to    the    feel    of    the    boat,    you    may    wish    to    either   
increase    or    decrease    the    amount    of    weather    helm.            Any    sailboat,    when    sailing    up    wind,   
should    have    a   slight    tendency    to    "round    up"    or   head    into    the    wind    if   the    helm    is   let    go.       If   
you    find    it    typically    difficult    to    hold    the    boat    off    the    wind,    the    boat    is    carrying    too    much   
weather    helm.   This    can    be    alleviated       by    reducing      rake,      which      will    move      the    center      of   
effort      of    the    sailplan       further   forward.       Conversely,    if    you    find    the    boat    tends    to    fall    off   
when   sailing    upwind    and   you   must   constantly   push   her   to   weather,   then   the   boat   carries   lee   
helm   and   the   rig   will   require   more   rake.   

   

With    constant    tuning    as    the    season    progresses,    your    boats    performance    will    improve.       The   
boat   will   feel   more   comfortable   to   sail.   

   

You   will   find   that   tuning    is   a   bit   of   an   art   and   you   will   begin    to   notice    subtle    changes    in   the   
behavior    and   response    of    your    boat    as    you    make    subtle    changes    in    tuning.       The    important   
thing    to    remember    is    to    go   about      the      process      in      a      slow      and      orderly      fashion.            To      record      
the       details       of      the       tuning       and       re-­‐tuning   procedures    as    well    as    the    results    achieved    will   
provide    you   a   better   understanding    of   the   rig   and   will   serve   as   a   useful   reference    for   rigging   
the   boat   on   subsequent   occasions.
