On setting up the mast on my Ty I referred to past postings as a general guide to setting up and proper tuning.(The mast is stepped through to the cabin sole.)Inspection after the first fantastic! sail in a 10 to 17 knot breeze shows that the bronze at the forepeak, or deck, (it is difficult to tell at this point),is lifting,pulled up approx 3/8 of an inch. Have I over tighted the forestay and bent the bronze,or lifted the deck? I did not notice this before sailing, has any other Ty oweners had this problem ,and how was it resolved?
Thanks, Bob Paterson
