Hey Guys,

Can you take a look at these pictures and make some suggestions to improve the performance. I had to take them at night, sorry they are a bit hard to see.

Looks good. As in, just like mine..... almost, but hard to commend on performance with pics alone....

How about a bit more information on what you are tying to improve? I assume you are not looking for advice on what fabic colors go with brushed alumium, stainless steel, and white fiberglass

(although the blue line in inself will make the boat sail faster

Sorry, I meant to add this to my last post.

I should have explained better.

Pictures 1 and 2:

Do they look to be at the right angle? I know its impossible to tell but I don't think they are tight enough.

Pictures 3,4 and 5

Is that set in the right spot? Should I have the halyard pulled up more, down more? Did I put the pin in the right hole?

Pictures 6, 7 and 8

The shoe isn't flat to the deck, it may be hard to see but there is about a 1/4"ish space there. Is that right? I cant seem to get the darn thing to come down any further.

Sorry for the vague 1st post.

Looks fine to me. I'd put a new ring ding on, and I tape all my ring dings with black electrical tape to keep them from working free.

Foot of the mast will be brought down closer to the deck by tightening your lower shrouds. You can tighten your forestay, if you feel it's too loose, by tightening your uppers. Good luck.

I'd put a toggle on the bottom and top of the forestay if that is a CDI furler and probably any other also, but CDI wants them installed,
