Rig Set Up
Mast Pre Bend
The recommended pre bend for the A Rig should be 8mm over the top 650mm.
The recommended pre bend for the B Rig should be 5mm over the top 600mm.
The recommended pre bend for the C Rig is none.
The amount of bend is a measurement from the mast head to a projected straight line of the
bottom unbent part of the mast.
The amount of pre bend shown is low, and you may prefer more, however the idea is that with less
forestay tension your jib boom clew will lift more easily and open the jib leech in a gust or stronger
breeze. An auto trim function. Too little weight on the jib boom end and the boat will round up.
Firm side stays and appropriate spreader angle should keep the forestay tension in check with
these provided measurements.
