Has anyone an idea of the amount of mast rake for a 325/335? And at what stage of shroud tension adjustment to set this? I assume that the backstay should be slack when setting this.
The final shroud tensions will be set using the (adjusted for wire diameter and wire configuration - dyform) figures given by Mike Lockwood in the 325/335 forum.
Mike said " Cap shrouds 41 Intermediates 23 Lowers 31 ... the figures I quoted are for the raw measurements, without correction for the wire diameter, so not the true tensions. ... " and Mike used a "Super Spars (International Sailing Products) and looks very similar to the Loos Type B. "
However, that link is no longer available. The below looks similar but isn't suitable for the 5 and 7mm P325 rig.

As a matter of interest/double checking I'll convert the Loos figures back to tension as measured by the % extension of the rig.
