Forestay/Jib adjustment
« on: April 26, 2026, 10:02:48 PM »
I don't see much about forestay adjustments and given that there is no backstay, I'd expect to see more. I understand the effect of the shrouds on the tension but wondered if there was a standard (or typical) length of the adjustment loop at the clam cleat by the furler attachment. I seem to have only about 3" of adjustment but remember seeing boats with over 12". Assume no vang is on.
