| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

I have the same issues with the tuning guide, my forestay length only allows a 25-1/2" rake number etc. I can easily duplicate the forward bend you have with too much tension on the aft lowers. What tuning numbers are you using? 34 with the backstay on full or something else? I tension my aft lowers so the mast is straight with no backstay, and tighten them 1-2 turns for windy days. I am not sure if that is correct, my boat is noticeably faster with them loose or real loose.
deck comment: check your deck organizers for core leaks. Those use rubber grommets for sealing the deck that dry out and crack after 20 years. Guess how I know that.
