   Hi.

Mast setting is difficult.

Look at the book, the mast have a rake and pre-bend(Suitability).

I am of the tension gauge Loo's standard model (part No.90, 3 / 16 "~ 9 / 32") have them.

The book, up to 20% of breaking load of wire tension.

342 a fractional rig with swept-back spreader because of.

342 of my customers in the fore-stay is no turn-buckle. The length of the fore-stay can not control.

Your 342 is fixed to a fore-stay?

the fore-stay is fixed, rake it can not be controlled. you're as controlled by the back-stay is limited.

And the cap shroud and inter-mid, lower and adjusted to 20% do. No pre-bend of the mast. Mast is upright.

Is not it wrong?

Your settings and let me know the levels of tension gauge. Mast rake and how is wondering if there are pre-bend.

Thaks read, wait reply.^^

	Hi Kiltosman. I spent a lot of time researching the same problem with my 2002 371, 4-5 years ago. The forestay was too short to allow the mast to rake slightly aft with the stays & shrouds hand tight. The solution was to replace the toggle connector at the bottom end of the forestay with one that was about 10mm longer. I believe Hanse supply the forestay slightly too short with the expectation that the riggers commissioning the boat will know that they have to use the correct length toggle connector to set the rake. This belief was re-inforced by a conversation I had with a rigger at the Hanse Solent Rally a 2 years ago. Unfortunately many riggers think the toggle connector supplied by Hanse (too short) must be the correct toggle connector to use. It took me many hours on internet surfing to find the correct length (longer) toggle with the correct pin diameter holes. As you expect, when you get the rake correct the pre-bend will appear as you tension up the shrouds. Good luck with your search for a longer toggle connector.
