Scott, we sail our Tuff Luff at 46' 1"=A0 which works well up to upper teen=
s, then shorten 1", our Harken R/F is set at 46', beeter for cruising. The =
R/F does not sail as well in light air.The uppers are at 40, D2's at 25 and=
D1's about 10-15.Almost no back stay tention, about 11/2 -2" of mast bend.=
Hope this helps.
