You could just have your jib cut for a given luff curve and not worry about the last few tons of backstay. I think that would work, but ask a sailmaker before taking my word for it! Andy Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtserv

Brent, I think shape is what we're all after. The numbers can be every misleading, especially since the proper shape seems to evolve in the last 10% of adjustment. I'm sure you get closer than most of us. My earlier post spoke to ranges and max pressures to prevent rod distortion. Chuck Res

Dwight, I'm no expert on this, but a dedicated student. The owners manual states that max backstay tension should be kept below the tension that will stretch the Navtec Rod. Once metal stretches beyond a certain point, it remains that way. “As a rule of thumb, the maximum static backstay pressu

I'll vouch for anything that Jim says! Besides, it's Sunday. You are correct about the residue for any of the duct type tapes. I've used a light application of a heat gun to some advantage when removing them. Messy though. Next time I have window problems, I'm going to make stainless or alumi

Gorilla Tape leaves a huge sticky residue when you remove it. I currently use 3M #33 electrical tape to cover the caulking bead, it looks OK by the ten foot rule.

Fred, Soda blasting was done by an outside contractor that the yard arranged to come do the job. They billed the yard, who then billed me. It was about $1500 and money well spent. I’m sure the yard got a cut of the profit, but those are the yard rules. They are pretty friendly to do-it-
