I'm not a racer, but I do love to tinker and try to get the most out of my 14.2 . I'm a bit confused as to how the forestay should be measured, in a quest for optimum mast rake. according to the one design rules the maximum length allowed is 15' 3 3/4". my bare forestay measures 15' 2 1/4" but with the adjuster attached and mounted as usual, it measures 15' 6 1/4" pin to pin overall. I would think the one design rules would use an overall measurement, including any adjusters, to remain consistant…….. or maybe not??? My standing rigging is all new this year from Catalina, so I assume it would be std length as the boat was designed, but then I see in the 14.2 owners manual they call for 15' 3 1/4".
I've heard of manufacturing tolerances, but this is getting ridiculous .
any guidance appreciated,
Russ
