Greetings Try the link to Harken's page for adjusters and discriptions. http://www.harken.com/rigtips/back.php By using the triangle it gives a finer adjustment. I'm thinking of adding the same arrangement not so much to bend the mast (to get rid of draft)but to help releive the uppers and aft swept spreaders from some of the load. Also planning on increasing the size of the uppers and lowers, putting the lowers tangs with a through bolt and replacing the spreaders and brackets with the ones from Dwyer. I want my mast to stay up when the wind picks up. Bob
