HooD Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Depends on your crew weight and diamond arm rake. I set mine about 30mm behind the track and 25 on the loose gauge, I carry about 160 kilos of crew weight. rule of thumb, the heavier the crew the less rake and more tension to increase power, lighter crew more rake less tension. Some people here advocate backing off the diamonds one full turn for fresh to frightening weather, I disagree with this as in the vast majority of heavier weather races there are plenty of light patches. As far as I am concerned it is far easier to de-power the rig than power it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV YUKKA II Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 thanks hood, got some sailing to do on the long weekend and will give those setting a run and see how we go. will have some top class 5.8's there so we should have a good bench mark at windamere to test out some b oat speed.
