1. Fascinating as always!

2. Great discussion on rake and the importance of it, it's something that a lot of people seem to forget, the rig just gets "tensioned" and that's it, there's not really a lot of reflection on where the rig actually is.

   Looking forward to the sail discussion, hoping to hear what happened to your old sail. Was it just old and UV-damaged or something else?

   Thanks for the videos!

3. I love your videos you’re explanation is so in depth that we can all follow along because of how you’re delivering it. Thank you.

4. Your info is head spinning in a good way!

5. Why not just use a Sta-Lock to shorten the stay? Also interesting that you didn't build a carbon chain plate into the longeron/cross beam for the forestay? Just found your channel a week or so ago – great stuff.

6. Wow masterclass.

7. Great explanation, good to see your continued progress!!!

8. So that spinning-up tri, was it professionally rigged? f'n amazing how owners rely on paid, expert help that leaves their boats un-sailable and/or dangerous. Assuming you got lots of hugs & drinks for fixing that one. PS – Anna, this mast climb music is so inspirational – where's my harness, I want to go up to that!

9. Love the video and explanations. How do you know how much rake to pull out? Incrementally by "feel' or do you know where you LCOE roughly lies?

10. Great content guys thanks

11. awesome!

12. so informative 100%👍

13. The original problem seems to have been caused by the way you rebuild your frontbeam. There will be more effects of it than just the rake. The angle of the bridle that prevents the middle of that frontbeam from bending upwards has also been changed. For the worse, that is. So…. is your bridle strong enough? Is the dolphinstriker 16:07 long enough for this new angle. How much tolerance would a racingboatdesigner give his customers, do you think ?

14. First look at the designers rig plans /

15. Good son. Ties off the halyard even though it's going through a clutch and in the self-tailer. What's the story on the forestay toggle at 2:33? Eaten by a stainless steel eating marmot?

16. Yet another great vid! Your boat is becoming an absolute beauty, I love it! Thank you.

17. I’ve always wondered how the stays maintained tension on a rotating mast. Interesting talk about mast tuning. I’ve often seen adjustable back stays, but never quite understood their purpose. I always assumed that the mast should be a rigid, fixed plane rising up from the boat, something you do not want to move around in relation to the boat. Maybe this only applies to racing applications, but it sounds like some movement might be beneficial in certain situations.

18. I would really like an explanation on the effect and settings for forestay tension – its importance and basic settings

19. Another great lesson learned. Thanks again.

20. I think 2 factors determine rake
    1. You want a small mast prebend backward. The force is mostly pushing the mast forward so a 1 or 2 degree rack backwards helps
    2. The cut of the sail. Is it cut for the rake.
    3. 3 I am placing cap shrouds at the end of the back part of mast. This should give me a 1.5 rake back which will be countered by the wind down wind sailing.
    4. what do you think?
