I'm just trying to setup the rigging on the victoria, and I have a question about the jib boom. In the manual, it says it should be 1.5cm or 1/2 -3/4" above the deck. This seems pretty low, as in the pics in the manual it looks like its about about the same height as the other boom. How high should I set it, and does it have to be parallel with the deck?

Thanks alot,

Rob

For the radiobox try some Goop after wiping the hull with alcohol.
My Victoria, not race legal but who cares:
