In SPEED SAILING, Gary Jobson wrote the following for the 9.1 "Mast Rake 8 to 10 inches of rake. The 9.1 needs helm in light air. Add rake to increase helm. Forestay extended approximately three quarters of the way. Mast bend: After setting forestay length, move mast butt approx. 1-1/2 to 2 inches to induce 2- to 3-inch prebend. Maximum bend should be 8 to 10 inches with backstay on hard(no baby stay). Leeward upper should not go slack with maximum backstay, full main, heavy #1, six to seven people on high side. Tighten lowers and intermediates to remove any sag. Don't overtighten." He also recommends the leeward upper be just firm at 20 degrees heel as does our boat's manual. |
