Greg I suspect the reason that no one has respondedto your request is that no one has heard of this brand of mast. I also suspect that there is a letter missing from your sail and that the original was probably KC 1822 indicating that the boat is Canadian in origin. Regardless of the kind of mast the process for inducing prebend should be the same. There are a number of articles on the Fireball homepage in the Tech Articles section that will give you the basics --Previous Message-- : I have a Fireball with a Hawker De : Haliland mast s/n 2106-175. Having : issues with getting any mast prebend : and was looking for information on : the correct spreader settings for : this mast. the spreaders measure : 390mm and 210mm back.
