mast pre-bend question? Self tackers?
Posted: January 15th, 2006, 7:02 pm
I recently purchased a 33' mast and squaretop main and jib from a supercat 19xl for use on my supercat 20... The mast came with all the rigging dismantled so I'm trying to find out if this setup requires prebend or not and if so... how much prebend is required? Also....the jib was a self tacker with a curved track on the sc 19 and I'm setting up a straight track system which I decided, after reading all the posts on catsailor forums from Bill Roberts, that this was the way to go. Do i need to do any mods to this jib to convert it from a curved track self-tacking jib to a straight track self-tacker?
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.....any input as to the pros and cons of straight versus curved tracks are most welcome too.
P.S. Does anyone know where I can find a good maybe used chute or hooter sized for the SC-20?
Thanks.....Determined to become competitive again this year!
