| Loose shrouds
I own a new Fountaine Pajot Athena 38 and while sailing close hauled or close reach the leeward shroud becomes very loose and flops about and will snap tight again with a shudder if the load suddenly comes off the sail. I was told this is normal by the guy who tuned up the rig and he suggested using a bungy cord to stop the shroud flopping around on long passages. Can any one out there give me advice if this is normal on a cat, or does it sound like my shrouds are too loose? Regards, Crak SV Sirocco |
