Alistair,

The measurement rules gives this information under paragraph 4.4 and can be found here Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login Login

If you have any issues post on here and I will be happy to help.  Just a word of caution be careful with the bottle screws they are prone to seizing up and often bend when you try to turn them.  If you break them you will have to speak to Rooster for some replacements.  I have had some success reviving seized ones let me know if you need help.

Hi - I have spent this evening trying to set up my boat - rig tensions, mast rake etc. The tuning guide suggests that prebend should be 50-60mm max, mine is 90-100mm even with lowers on. Should I move spreaders back and is there any guidance measurements? Regards  John

John See the links above for the settings on spreaders - basic guide is set them to 150mm as described.  if you break a bottle screw Rooster have replacements in stock give them a call

Get yourself down to Langstone and we can help more there
