Scott Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Rake the mast back as far as you can. The diamonds for eg. if you are say on number 3 on the adjuster and they are tight let them off one full number or a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacraholic Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Brad, the little number '4' infront of the '0 knots' means this little black duck stays on the beach, with boat tucked up nicely under its cover. If only i still had the 5.8........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
