Vertical

Cheers Bouttime,

I'm assuming the riggers stand up vertical when the mount is rotated. Do they stay fairly rigid when travelling (not in use)?

Yea mate either 90deg back or vertical. They are fine as we were doing 25knts into wind chop without a drama.

The poles i am not to sure

The poles i am not to sure as i got them with the boat 5 years ago, but they are 4.5mtrs with reelax bases i fitted a few weeks ago. Am happy with the setup but the only prob i have is they dont sit up enough when put out. They sit flat from the mount where as i would rather them sit up about 45deg. Just needs a new backing plate to fix that.
