Thanks for the tip on a backstay,but unfotunatley the main runs out slightly past the tramp and I cant put on a backstay. The mast on a Mystere is the same as the Tornado, so theres the sail is admitidly big,but Im after more power in light winds and it should work.Perhaps I have the luff to tight,therefore allowing the luff to run to high on the mast.Typically does anyone know how far down from the top of the mast a tornado mounts the tang for the head of a spinnaker. I may also try to drop my snuffer pole?
Ive also on other boats used a pully that the top of the spinnaker can run horizontally around the mast when under pressure instead of a tang. Perhaps a tang is a better option so the mast isnt pulled from the side? I know this will cause the mast to counter rotate,but it may be stronger?
Any more thoughts?I know the sail is big,but Im hopping that others that have indicated they run T spins on mystere 5.5s can assist..................Thanks too for all the input!
