Thank you all - it was indeed that the halyard needed to be moved down to about knot 8 instead of 9 as the manual states. sliding the knot down took care of the issue perfectly. Thank you for all the ideas and suggestions. I had a wonderful sail yesterday with no new scratches on the deck! This...
Started with the guide - counted and measured where everything is currently located and it matches what the manual says....that's why I searched and found this forum - figured there had to be something else
Thank you, ok it's at the spot the rigging manual says to place it - came that way to me, but I will give that a try - I've got to do something different!
The knot is secure. I thought the gooseneck should hold in place on the mast not slide down at an angle and allow the tip of the spar to scratch the deck?
Thanks, it's not sliding on the spar it slides down the mast and drops the spars onto the deck - I have wrapped tape on the mast to no avail - will try adding a bit more and then order a new gooseneck as it may be worn out like you mentioned . I appreciate your thoughts.
I purchased a used boat, the gooseneck will not stay in the correct position - it slides down dropping the front of the spars onto the deck and rubbing the heck out of the deck - is the gooseneck too big or is there something I’m doing incorrectly?
