Pre-bend

Requirements

  • Easy to apply
  • Pull the mast to the very front of the slot.

I want to fit a deck mounted mast track to act as both ram and pre-bend. However the full height tank and makes it difficult to implement, as there is little space to get strengthening in under the deck.

to minimise costs i have opted to retain the original simple system. this is a rope secured on one side of the partners, passing around the front of the mast, through a cheek, to a cleat under the deck. this will hold the mast forward, but my crew has to push it with his foot. I hope to fit a better system soon.
