I am in the process of "tuning" my 14.2. I have read the tuning guide listed in the forum and read the threads in the forum covering tuning and I am confused where to measure some of the dimensions listed.
For shroud tension the tuning guide lists 21' 10 1/2" -21' 11" measured to the back of the transom. Is this dimension from the top of the mast? It tells you to measure this dimension from the end of the shackel on the main halyard. With only a tolerance of 1/2" this does not seem the proper way to measure this dimension.
There are forum posts saying the height of the traveler is to be 28" to 34" from the top of the transom. Where is this measured? Also what is the height of the boom. Could someone give me the measurement from the bottom of the mast to the bottom of the boom?
Any help would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
