This measurement is from the front of the mast heel to the outside of the centre of the transom. Flat water (inland conditions) 0-16 knots – 3052mm 16 knots + – 3065mm Choppy/rough (sea conditions) 0-12 knots – 3052mm 12 knots + – 3065mm Forestay tension More rake is now used where possible, the same principle applies to forestay tension on either mast foot position you use. NB. This is measured without the sail up. When the back of the mast touches the mast gate the forestay should just be in tension.
