I have had some time to experience the problem continuing with the lift fully slack.

I should clarify we hear no audible sound, and in fact it is subtle enough that my wife cannot usually recognize it. I myself can sense it clearly each and every instance, and of course lie awake fretting about metal fatigue. When we first discovered the issue, I tried to sight up the mast and have never been able to visually see any movement in the spar (which is quite robust).

Have experiment with rig settings (currently 12% all 4 lowers, 15% caps and backstay) but no change. (Judging by sight we have maybe 2 inches of rake aft. Mast is in column.)


Thanks
