How do I check for Cabin Sag ?

Hello! I was recently told how to tell whether I have Cabin Sag on my Typhoon, I should measure the cabin floor to the interior of the mast support. Is this true? If so I measured 38 1/4 is this off? Also I still have not gotten an answer regarding adjusting the shrouds on my TY using a Loos Guage. Thnx-Mich

Look right where the cabine meets the deck. If you see a gulley or indentation around the cabin it is being pushed down. I may ony look like a half inch or so but it really is a lot more. I put a compression post in mine with very little effort and it went away. My cap shrouds were almost bottomed out and now they have about an inch of thread showing.

E-Mail me and I can send pics on how I built the post/jack system

I've owned two typhoons over a period of about 14 years--a '73 Ty had this problem although a '71 Ty did not. I would be willing to look at your boat and offer my opinion. This problem can be corrected with a support post. I also live in Bristol, RI. If interested, let me know and I'll take a look.
