[quote=ADixon][quote]16 to 1 and my wife can pull the head out. That's what we used on our 91 5.5SL, 97 sails, 420lbs on the diamonds and 1.75in of spreader rake, sailing at 295lbs crew weight. The downhaul would bend the snot out of the mast.

Ron,
Were you using standard Nacra5.5SL mast and sail? I always wanted some prebend like on F18, but was not sure the standard mast and the sail can handle it. Can you share more of your experience with that?[/quote]
