Hi Kean

Hope the new boats going OK.

I've had the pole off to varnish that as well so on putting it together I couldn't recall if it was tight to the clew or not.

I'll have a look at the N12's at Waldingfield this weekend.

N3364 Finally got got back onto the water today (hooray!) - with shiny new topsides - my first go in a N12.

A few things to sort out,  amongst which is the dangly pole - which never seemed to do the job - should I tie it directly to the clew? how tight to it?

We're at Waldringfield next weekend (in a Lark - the pink one!) - if you are wondering why were looking over your N12!

My 12 has a fixed jib luff wire which goes onto a rack on the mast. The shrouds are adjustable by via cascades. This is how I get the rig tension.

I presume, with this set up,  the only reason for having rig tension adjustable through the jib luff wire (as I have on my Lark with fixed shrouds) via a cascade would be to be able to rake the mast while afloat.

What is the general norm, stick with jib luff wire fixed to a rack or go for abjustable jib luff wire?

Thanks
