14 Adjusting the forestay length
Furlex 400 TD is only supplied without a rigging screw.
14.1 To lengthen the forestay
The forestay can be lengthened by fitting extra toggles, see table 3.3.3. Several toggles are usually
required to change the mast rake noticeably. These can only be fitted at the upper end of the system.
On a Furlex with an Ø12 mm forestay of the normal length (20000 mm), the masthead is moved 220
mm aft if the forestay is lengthened using a standard toggle (H=65mm).
14.2 To shorten the forestay
To shorten the Furlex system the forestay wire as well as the luff section have to be shortened. See
"Dismantling", chapter 17 and "Assembly of the Furlex system", chapter 4.
NB: The system must never be shortened by removing the lower Furlex toggle between
the forestay and the lower bearing assembly. (See "Forestay attachment-guiding
principle", chapter 3.1 and "Hull attachment", chapter 3.3).
