Figure 6-11. The sail and deck plans of Katy. The dotted line in the sail plan represents the vertical leg of a
right triangle (A). The line crossing to the chainplate on the deck plan is the base of the triangle (B). The proper
shroud length is represented by the hypotenuse of the right triangle (C). To determine the shroud angle relative
to the mast, find the arctangent of the ratio between base and height. In this case, the angle is 8.71 degrees.
