These are the current settings.

Dave,
You mention your loos gauge settings for a new Pentex geni. Did you
use the same settings for a Dacron geni?
Thank you,
Cary

Subject: Re: catalina27-talk: how much rack to you set in your mast?
I'm really quite pleased with the settings that I have on
Wyanokee, a standard C-27 (1986). The forward shrouds are set at
25 Professional Loos Gauge; the uppers are at 35; and the after
shrouds are at 30. I have the standard back stay adjustment that
sets the tension in the forestay (Harken furler) and rake that I
estimate to be at least 4" to 5" pulled taught. The rig is nicely
balanced with only slight weather helm in the 10 to 12 range using
a new Pope 155% Pentex genoa and new Pope Dacron Main. I use the
Garhauer vang as well. I have the standard Catalina traveller
with a 4 to 1 main sheet center boom adjustment.
For what it is worth...
