Mike, we have sailed Heartbeat and Black Hawk at 46' 1" in under 15 kts and=
 had good results, this is a pin to pin measurement, mast is 1" from the ba=
ck of the partner and about 3/4" from furthist aft setting. Every boat has =
it's slight differences. You need to find the right spot for your boat.

Ladies and Gents,


In the tuning guide it says the forestay should be 46'1" (ish) from the "ho=
unds" to the pin. =A0Traditionally, the hounds refer to where the the upper=
s attach to the mast. =A0Is this supposed to be a pin to pin measurement? =
=A0Just curious as I just bought mine last year and no matter what I did to=
 tune the rig, I had some pretty serious weather helm once the breeze got u=
p above 12-15knts. =A0The previous owner used spartite and had the rig in t=
he center. =A0I plan on removing the spartite and placing the rig in the af=
t most position at the step and 1" off the partner as I've read on the site=
. =A0


Any info on correcting weather helm, forestay measurements, etc would be gr=
eatly appreciated.


Gracias.
