Default Tuning a catamaran rig

just looking for a bit of guidence on tuning a cat rig. The boat is 40ft long, triple spreader, single jumper at the top. i'm happy with the rake but not the amount of pre bend, (not very even). Any advice from the collective fonts of knowledge?

Hello,
Yup, best to prime the fonts with some details, as there are a lot of variations we have to deal with, starting with whether any shrouds even reach deck,and if so, where on deck.
Fair leads,

This was just an out-of-interest-question.. Saw a rigger on a boat, (cat) ,. 40ft long.triple spreader, forward jumpers near the masthead. Caps/'backs' 10 ft ish aft of the mast, lowers 5 ft ish aft of the mast. Just wondered how tuning a cat rig differed. Understand,. in a 'farmers' sense how to get the mast in column, but getting pre-bend needed a 'font of knowledge' to explain, in my small brain.
Thank you for satisfieing my curiosity.
