MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : Spreaders

Can anyone tell me how you decide where on the mast the spreaders should be fixed.  Obviously to get the correct deflection of the shrouds this position is critical BUT this will depend on the length of the spreaders as well and how do you come to that decision.  What length of spreaders is used on a Merlin - that would seem a good place to start - then the position on the mast can be calculated.  I believe that Dinghy Magazine have an article on Merlin rigging this month but I haven't got hold of it yet.
