Just got lovely shiny new rigging and the marina have stepped the mast and tightened the shrouds. They say the forestay is too short and the backstay is too long but it's been made exactly to the old measurements.
It looks to me that I can tighten the forestay a good couple of inches and everything will be fine, but how do you decide how tight the forestay and backstay need to be and what mast angle? It's a masthead rig and the mast won't bend, much too chunky.
Cheers
