Brian,
Thanks for your adjustment guidelines. I will try them out when I get the mast back on. Yes I agree this mast is probably not designed for bend.

At the moment, I have cut into the cabin-top because of dishing under the mast. The original plywood core is soft and wet, so repairs are underway. Also, my rigger says the mast pedestal is not original so this may explain too-short forward stay. Original specs would be great to have.

Much to do before adjusting and testing rake.

Thanks,
