Morning all,
I was reading the "sticky" post on adjusting your rig. I've read many descriptions on how to do this and I always end up with one question.
Every method says something like;
" (NOTE: this has to be done in a day with no wind with the boat perfectly horizontal, shift weight if you have to, to balance the boat)."
My question is how do you know when the boat is "perfectly horizontal" ???
The article here talks about 1degree of aft mast rake. I would think if you can't or don't know what a horizontal reference for the boat is the 1 degree thing can be way off ????
Thanks
Bill
