Tips for setting the bend int he mast on a prindle 18. I think my fore stay is too tighe and I have put the rake in the mast with the shroud pressure. I have a 13.5 rake in the mast and the diamonds are set firm. Hard to press against mast 12 inches above attach point. But when I pull the main sheet in tight I do not a good bend i the mast. I can loosen the diamonds and I still donot get a good bend. The diamond spreaders aer set by the book. But when I loosen the diamonds the top of the mast does not bend back. I think that the forestay too short and that the rake in the mast is being created by the tight shrouds. Will figure o0ut this weekend but just thought there may be a few pointers out there.
Thanks Everyone Good Sailing
