Hey
What is everyones preference when it comes to "shimming" the mast for a snug fit in the mast step? I have tried it both ways, tight shim with tape verses lately no shims whatsoever. I possible may be losing power upwind as the mast and rig fall off to leeward ever so slightly. Also, what is your method of shimming besides duct tape. I believe that Cordero never shims claiming that it allows the rig to fall forward downwind.
Thanks,
Doug
