Do you move the center block back as the breese builds to say 15 mph? we sail at 340 pounds, jack stays at 50"?? thanks Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:20:57 GMTrogerhttp://www.cscow.org/forum/Topic220-4-1.aspxAfter getting in a few races in the C boat with the new rags (North), I wanted to pass along my thoughts to all those Quantum sailors who will be changing over to Norths in due time. </P><P>They are different - in a good way. </P><P>Mast rake stayed the same - 31 ft - 9.5 to 10 inches. side stays just hand tight. </P><P>Boom blocks - center block all the way forward - aft cars just infront of the back traveler. </P><P>The main thing we changed were the jack stays. The days of sailing at 55 to 60 on the jacks are gone. Jeff and I found that with 380 to 390lbs on the boat - the jacks should be 47, and with 500 lbs on the boat - tighten to 38 to 40. The reason being is that the Norths are flatter and if you have that much mast bend - you loose too much power. </P><P>AugieThu, 09 Jul 2009 15:56:35 GMTabarkow
