Guys I am looking for help with tuning my mast. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I have a C&C 34+ with double spreader mast that has one upper, one intermediate and one lower rod shroud. I borrowed a friends loos gage other day and have stb and port set exactly same. I understand how to look up mast for straightness and to go sailing for fine tune . My question is this - what is starting ratio for upper - intermediate - lower? If upper is say 2400lbs then would lower be 55% or 1300lbs o upper? Would intermediate be slightly less ie 1100/45% of upper? I'm trying to get the starting point of approximate lbs for upper/intermediate/lower in lbs and ratio. Thanks for any help you all can provide.
