Default SC31 Mast Rake & Bend Specs Available?

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

Default SC31 sailplan

The posted sailplan was for the SC39. Try this link

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,
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,
