Finally got Angelica (seal no 3)into the water after buying her in march last year...
However I am having trouble getting the forestay tight.
With the upper shrouds bar tight - the forestay has a good 3" shake
Even with the boom held by the topping life and the main sheet hawled in as much as possible, the shake reduces to about 2"
I cannot understand how all these forces are not transferred to the forestay.
At the tack, the roller reefing is attached to the forestay and onto the same point at the bows
