Base Settings: Are the starting point for all rig settings and are used between 12 - 16kts. It is always a good idea to adjust all rig settings back to base at the end of a days sailing otherwise it is easy to forget or lose the reference point.

Forestay Length: Pull the forestay tight against the mast and mark it where it meets the top of the white band at the goosneck. (Use a permanent marker). alternatively if the mast is hoisted take the Jib halyard to the same band and then swing it out to the forestay and mark that point. Base forestay length is measured from the mark on the forestay to the centre of the pin at deck level.

Jib Cars: As supplied by the manufacturer with holes numbered from 1 going Backwards

Cap shrouds, D1s and D2s: Base settings measured with Loos PT2M rig tension guage. Light and Heavy settings achieved by adjusting bottlescrews on or off from the BASE settings.

Tips: With the swept back spreader rig it is important not to over tension the cap shrouds or the mast will compress and fall off at the top.

Hints: The aim with D1s and D2s: adjust until the mast is straight sideways when sailing upwind. Mark all the bottlescrews so that it is clear the correct way to turn if you want to tighten or loosen the rig!
