Mast Step UP basic procedure
Mast step up may vary from boat to boat, it is easier in modern boats, where schroud tracks (should be released) helps to maintain constant the schrouds tension while the step up process is going on. Old boats may difficult the process where schrouds might be too eased at the begining and then too tight or vice versa, specially if schourds atta  ...           Posted on 27/07/2005 by Matias Collins, read by 7902 Comments 0

Need to setup a different boat not yours? By Stu Walker
I have the annual problem of setting up my European boat (I can see the tears being shed in sympathy!) to match my American boat (after spending a year developing the speed of the latter). Those who acquire a new boat or charter a boat or are dissatisfied with the performance of their present boat may find my technique useful and I await your inp  ...      Posted on 19/04/2005 by Matias Collins, read by 1883 Comments 0

Mast Rake by Stu Walker
I believe that for sailing to windward mast rake (aft) should be as great as possible consistent with sheeting the mainsail and the jib. As in strong winds the rake must be reduced - to permit sheeting the flattened main on a bent mast and tensioning the jibstay - the maximum rake should be set for light air. Select a rake that causes the mainsh  ...      Posted on 18/01/2005 by Matias Collins, read by 1270 Comments 1

The effect of shroud car position
The tighter the uppers the less the effect - on mast bend - of moving or tensioning the lowers - and vice versa. When the uppers are eased (400lbs seems ideal for all conditions) slight changes in the position or tension of the lowers make big changes in the mast bend. To induce lateral mast sag (mid-mast sagging to leeward) and increase main  ...      Posted on 15/11/2004 by Matias Collins, read by 1192 Comments 0

Comments at article: Main Sheet Adjustment by Stu Walker
Roman Koch responds to my commentary: � Unfortunately we never check the rake; the tension measurement is not possible, because we use forestay and shrouds made from rodrigg. I also don`t know the rake, because we fixed it the first time sailing our boat with the "Schümann-datas" and have only a second position for very light win  ...      Posted on 10/11/2004 by Matias Collins, read by 1262 Comments 0

I have, in fact, just ordered a new Soling - my sixth. It's a great feeling to order a new boat. It somehow happens, like a new romance. ·. but cheaper. It's not like buying a car.
