Does anyone know what the correct tension is for a Mark 111 Toppie, and if there is any rake on the original paperwork?
thanks,

There is rake, just not at my info at this moment to tell you what it is, seem to remember 6" ? as a figure.
Do a search of all the posts as this subject has come up before.
As to rig tension, many ideas, best to get an experienced rigger run his hands over it.

Kevin,
Drawings I have show a 6 inch rake towards the stern, at the mast head, for a Mark 1.
I can only assume the same applies for the Mark 2 & 3.
