Hoping someone can clarify the rig tension section. Bob states "This is adjusted by
grabbing the leeward shroud with your hand and turning it to 120 degrees"

120 degrees to what? What/where am I measuring?

Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks!

grab the shroud with your fist at eye level, thumb up. rotate fist (and shroud) right or left. when your thumb is parallel with the horizon, that's 90 degrees. when your thumbs at about 4 o'clock (or 8 o'clock) that's about 120 degrees. loosen or tighten your shroud (on both sides) 'til right.

ok great! Thanks for the clarification. Do the same settings apply for the turbo? I'm assuming that you'd run your tension closer to the 45 since you're likely to trap out with the turbo. Also, does the same apply for the mast rake?
