I'm looking for some advice on rig tuning for an Ericson 36RH for racing on SF Bay for the coming Spring and Summer seasons. The rig is out of the boat right now, but will be going back in next week. I've seen some recommendations from Seth on rig tune (aft in mast step, forward at partners...

Does anyone have a drawing of the shape of the strut and how it is installed. It appears to be glassed in, with no...
