OK gang...
Just bought my first 5.8. Starting with the mast support before I remove the hulls for refinishing. Now, other than my nylon ball needs replacing, I have been told by an Aussie friend that the fact that the ball is close to the nut means that "The V-bar is stretched and needs to be replaced". Now, I've certainly seen several pictures showing other Nacras with the ball higher and more threads showing...But could someone help me to understand if this is an issue, or what I should do before preloading the beam and moving on? been spending lots of time researching to no avail.
As always, you guys are saints.
