1.Rig Trim

We are using the Loose Gauge PT-2M for all tension measurements of shrouds and runners. The shrouds have to be measured without the plastic protection!
 
 

Mast foot position (below deck)

Distance bulkhead – bolt (of mastfoot track)                                   43 cm
 
 

Mast rake (measured by length of forestay)

 
Pre setting: before you are able to measure your mast rake, you have to set up a measure tape on the forestay wire. As follows: hold a measure tape from deck level along the mast and mark the mast at the point of 79 cm above deck. Bring the forestay back to the mast, pull it down under pressure and mark the forestay wire where it intersects with the 79 cm mast mark.
 
Distance deck (middle of jib furler) – up to forestay mark                120 cm
 
 

Mast pre band Controll

Measured from position no 4 at mid deck position to mastfront
 
Position no 4 – mast control fully back                                             83 cm
 
 

Shroud position

Measured from position no 4 at hull-deck position towards astern up to upper and lower shrouds
 
Upper Shrouds                                                                              80 cm
Lower  Shrouds                                                                             83 cm
 

Based on Fritz Sails which is not that much different to the North trim we are doing as follows: The numbers are measured when mast is fully back (by mast controller) and both runners are on 6 LG tension!!
