Thanks guys. I have read those posts before and made the alterations with no real positive effect. My main problem is getting a yardstick from other boats so I will try the idea of measuring the tension.
<br>
<br>Whan I tried the stays in the bottom hole, the mast would not rotate properly as it kept katching on the safety clip for raising and lowering.
<br>
<br>We do go better when the wind blows. I am thinking of putting some stops in to reduce rotation, so I guess I will just keep on experimenting.

<br> Have a good winter as the summer here is beautiful already.<br><br>
