What degree do y'all set your tacking arms at?
I'm guessing 65

What are tacking arms? Those fixed things atop the mast with an air blown arrow above them?
After I made a pair for my boat and set these two bamboo sticks [scurers] at 45 deg I read that maybe 60~65 deg was correct. My buddy had to buy another Davis set for his boat as he smashed his when the mast was lowered for a road trip. Does not matter I just use them for a reference guide anyway.
I have more information using sail tell-tails. skip.
At least 65. I just put a Windex on my 16, and even 65 degrees is pushing it. Admittedly, my main is pretty blown out, but that's about as close to the wind as I could get.
