Thank you Jack and Tenders
I was embarrassed to ask the question but am glad I did!
Thank you for the clarification now I can somewhat interpret the wobble prior
to climbing the mast
The reason I was alarmed is that the person climbing said the port spreader
was somewhat vertically looser than the starboard
One thing that concerns me is that with the sails removed both port and starboard spreaders now sit horizontally - which means they do not now conform to the ideal 12 degree angle which bisects the above and below spreader angles of the upper shroud.
They appear to be allowed to sit horizontally or up 12 degrees up.
So how can they be made to stay in ideal position?? By tape on spreader tip or is the mast beefy enough to not worry about the angle ?
(My Rigger is me - but I need my own eyes on it)
