OK, so maybe the tuning wasn't quite so easy... it seems I have pretty excessive headstay sag. When close hauled in 15 kts with a 130% genoa, I'm getting about 10" of sag at the mid point of the headstay - seems like rather a lot... How much should I be getting?

I'm tempted to tighten the backstay a whole bunch to tighten the headstay - and it'll do wonders for the pretty loose forestay too...

Any pointers?
