Bolido Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I set up my boat (hull 1018) with the mast angled step and followed North's tuning guide (NB1 main and Big Foot jib) of 4' 10 7/8" on the headstay, as per their instructions. I normally sail in 12-18 Knot wind and moderate waves. Everybody teases me about excessive mast rake and suggest the boat will sail better with less rake. Since mine is the only J22 in Puerto Rico I don't have anything to compare with. Is that setup exclusive for light wind conditions or is the norm? Any suggestion on a different setup?

cdoyle Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 For your vintage of boat, that set up should be good for most conditions. I had hull 1026 for a while, and my boat was set up around there when I was using North Sails. When I was using Quantums, I actually had more rake. And the newer boats seem to sail better with a little more rake than what the older boats carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
