Ty mast

Post by JBA »

Hello all,
I have had this problem since I bought my Typhoon. When my mast is down and on saw horses it is ramrod straight. When it is up, even before I start tightening any shrouds or stays, the mast has a pronounced curve above the spreaders. As I said, all rigging remains loose. No matter what combinations of tension on the standing rigging the curve remains. I attach the lower shrouds aft and the uppers forward When the mast is returned to the saw horses it is ramrod straight again. HELP!
