The Taipan class rules were 700mm spread. We started here and I am now using arms that are about 10.5cm longer than the Taipan length spreader arms and it seems to really help
This suggests to me that you are using 3 mm 1x19 wire for your diamond wires, is that true ?
The top of the mast is where you then have to really concentrate to keep the rotation in tune with what shape you are trying to keep in your sail. Just a slight bit too much rotation and the top of your sail will go board flat AND not twist off.
I think we can do something about this without having to get a new mast section. It won't be major but it can well be a sizeably step in the right direction.
I'm trying to develop/validate my model and I can very well use more experiences like this.
