I have my rig "tuned" but as I look at the tuning guide I downloaded I have a couple of questions.
1. According to the tuning guide I am supposed to max out the turnbuckles on the back stay on each side.
2. While I am tuning the uppers I am supposed to have the back stay "all" the way on. What does that mean? How much is all the way on?
3. The guide said that I may need to shorten the primary back stay a couple of inches, but does not say how long it should be.
I have measured my forstay and it appears to be the right length but it is still very sloppy unless I have the back stay fairly tight. I am hoping to figure this all out soon. Our first race in Velocity Girl is this saturday. Any help would be appreciated. The J 30 is a new boat for me and I am trying to get her as figured out as I can before I go get my butt kicked on the race course. I would rather blame myself and not the boat. HA HA HA!
Thanks
