![]() Brion,
Thank you for finding this graphic and bringing my attention back to the forestay. Under my mast was a block of wood about 1" to 1-1/2" thick, nicely faired and finished but weathered and cracked, that I assumed was original. The guy helping me with the repair says not so. If this was added it may account for the short forestay. I do not see a raised step under the mast on the graphic. Please confirm if raising the mast by this 1” to 1-1/2" can result in the kind of problem I am seeing at the forestay. If so I need a reference dimension to be able to determine mast step height. In your opinion, can I get enough resolution off the sailplan printed on 8-1/2 x 11, to determine the required height of the mast step within 1”? Thanks, Jim Lavery s/v Hoku Ke'a Southern Cross 31 |

![]() The posted sailplan was for the SC39. Try this link
http://www.southerncross-boats.org/i...31-profile.gif You'll have to print it out to get some idea of the mast rake. I can't tell how much there is from my computer screen. Clyde |

![]() Clyde,
Thanks for the SC31 graphic. I think that once I get my mast step repaired and solve the question of a too-short forestay, I will be able to set in a rake as a starting point that is reasonably close to the graphic, probably somewhere in the 1 to 2 degree range. Thanks, Jim Lavery s/v Hoku Ke'a Southern Cross 31 |
