Hello All,
I just bought a used 94 capri 14.2 and I just have a few questions on adjusting the rigging to make sure it is correct as I don't have a user manual. The boat came with brand new factory sails that until yesterday had never been used.
1) Slack in the mainsail where the foot and tack meet, I have about 3-4 inches. The boom is all the way down to a stopper. I need to check and make sure the main is all they way up but here is my questions. Can I lower the boom stopper to make up the slack? I have plenty of room I 'm sure if this would be a correct solution.
2) Mast pin, how tight should I make this? The mast is in the step plate and I just hand tightened it and there is space between the mast and the housing. My gut tells me to get it as tight as possible.
Thanks
Hartman
