Is that OK. Is the mast gonna fall over one day when I'm out there sailing or what...
The 16 sails best with a lot of rake aft. Main blocks vary in setup and size so, the rule of thumb is to rig... sheet hard and have minimal space between the boom blocks and traveler blocks.
If you can rig as described... you are good to go.
The base ball rests in the cup whether the mast it straight up or well aft. The rig tension created by the jib halyard holds it in while sailing or capsized.
oh wow that is a lot of mast rake. Mine isn't quite that crazy but almost. Well that makes me feel better. I ordered the 10-hole shroud adjuster (VS. the 7-hole adjuster i have now). I think if once i get that on it should be all good. Thanks for all the help guys
