Yeah, as Rich says.
And next year let's do a mast replacement on her.
Say, a carbonF & double spreader, 7/8, C/Ps moved inboard.
Sized to current jibs so PHRF won't notice the change? :)
Now seriously Dennis,
Do you race with the roller furling sail or have jibs that tack to the deck?

Chuck,
I'm trying to keep the drum as close to the deck
as possible. When re-assembled, I'm trying to
have the furler turnbuckle close to being
two-blocked. That's why it's critical to get this right.
This is really an example of extreme rig tweaking.

Hi Dennis,
Before ordering the new headstay, I would
experiment by adding a toggle to the bottom of
the headstay. A toggle at the top sounds like
someone reheaded the rod and made it too
short? Is there a toggle on the backstay that
you can remove and use on the headstay?
Setup your rig, go sailing. See if it works how
you want, then order the new stay to that length.
I have read that 1 degree of mast rake is a boat
designer's target. Sailmakers like more rake,
especially for light air. Some tuning guides
(J35) suggest adding a 2" toggle to the headstay
when racing in less than 15 knots and removing
that when true wind is above. Some of this is
driven by weather helm. You know your boat best.

Dennis,
Instead of lengthening the forestay, can you
move the butt of the mast forward any? I think
a ½â of movement at the base of the mast
should give you at least 5â at the masthead.

OK, check my math and thinking on this one.
I want to increase the rake in Touche's mast. I
made some changes in the rig a few months ago
which brought the masthead forward so the plumb
from the masthead is only about 6 inches aft of
the gooseneck. It used to be 9-10 inches to get 1 degree of rake.
The foretriangle is close to a right
triangle. I=44' and J = 14.5'. If I add the 6
inches to J (for the plumb drop from the
masthead), I get a right triangle with sides of
44.0 and 15.0 and a hypotenuse of 46.487 (the forestay).
So, if I want to move the masthead aft another 6
inches, I end up with a triangle of 44.0, 15.5
and 46.650. The difference in the lengths of
the hypotenuses (hypoteni?) is 0.163 or about 2
inches. By my thinking, I need a new forestay
about 2 inches longer than the existing one.
There's more to the story than this, like it's
really 5 inches each for the plumb and rake
increase and I'm removing an extra toggle from
the top but the math and method should be right.
Am I right?
