[C320-list] rigging

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

I'll be tuning the rig tomorrow for the first time.  

The manual does not discuss pre-bend, does everyone tune for straigt?

It also says that you can adjust for 0 to 1 percent rake.  What does everyone recommend.  We want a little weather helm.  Also I assume that 1 percent means the head of the mast will be 1 percent of the spars length back from vertical.

The backstay seems very tight and very dificult to get installed.  Since it is adjustable I expected that it would be floppy when released.  Any advice?

Any other tips or lesons learned would be much appretiated.
