Thank you John, i will try this set up this sunday. Et merci Pierrick pour la proposition, j'attend ma premiere navigation avec impatience histoire  de voire comment ce comporte ce trés beau bateau prometteur.
Cheers.

Or a horizontal centreboard case ?

To set the boat on his water line, does the bow have to be vertical ? I ve never seen her on the water...

Hi Tom,
thanks a lot. glad to see the mast seems ok. Houds are just 4 cm upper yours, so i think it Is not a big trouble. So if the mast is ok, it is a very good point.
next step is raking the mast. Do i have to put it straight from the sheerline or is it the bad way to do ?

I ve forgot to say, i live in France, britanny near Saint Malo.

I´m very happy to be the new owner of 3257 Simply Red. She was in France for years now and she needs to be re-rigg. But i have  never seen another 12 before. I need a lot of informations about this boats.
The mast is not a TRUE 12 one, so i.m not sure about the lenght, spreaders position, boom position... My mast is 668 from under the step mast to the top of the main halyard. Boom is 121 cm from the step mast, spreaders 354. Is itgood or really bad ?
shrouds don't have any controls just verniers And the rake of the mast seems to a lot behind. I know this boats are all differents but if someone can tell me about a neutral position i can measure from the top of the mast/transform with the halyard, it'll be very kind.
for the shrouds control i woud like to have one control for both to the centreboard.
i know there is a lot of questions but i can assure it is just the begining.
(Please, excuse me for my french)
regards.

Simply Red has a new home in France near Saint Malo. she needs to be rigging with new controls and tunings before sailing. I wish i will have some help to do that.
