[quote=rch701]I am sure it is different for different cats, but my 5.0 has its diamonds slacked to allow for the mast to bend up to the limit of the diamond wire facing the bow. What I have read is that your mast rotates to the wind and bends on the minor axis. This reduces the camber of the sail and is better for low and high wind. A straight mast (minimal diamond tension) is best for medium wind. Of course I only race myself and can't say from experience. But hey, I am still in first place![/quote]
