Any suggestions on how to go about tuning the standing rigging? I noticed excessive weather helm and a loose lower shroud. I don't see any back stay adjustment. How much rake is best?
I don't see a bale on the top of the jib cam cleats. How do the lines keep from going into the water when releasing them for the next tack? My Precision has the bales. I suppose they would get in the way when using winches? The winches are new to me.
Anybody have photos of where you attach the sie sway prevention lines to the deck and mast when stepping the mast with a mast raising system on a 26S?
I noticed no anchor locker. When at anchor do you store the remaining rode on the deck oe lead it aft?
