Fit a clinometer fore and aft axis to manage your trim. Set the boat up on the dock using a 'level' or smart phone app level - put on the foredeck and wind the jockey wheel up or down to get it horizontal. Next take your clinometer (available on our store) and stick to the side tank, port side when reading zero. Next when afloat with you in it get a friend or coach - also available for hire :) to call the trim - use comparisons or get them to take a picture. You can also send this to us for a check up.. you may find when you haul your boat out its quite bow down - move the sausage lead bags out of the front and put on the back to help. MAST RAKE Mostly the rake is around 0, straight up. Use a level to get the deck horizontal then use a level to set the rake at zero and make a mark on your mast referencing the jib halyard. See tuning guide for detail on rake settings. We use this method as due to minor variation in mast step and tack positions.
