keel torquing

 The torque values are 1400 lubricated, 1900 not lubricated.  The torque wrench is just under 2 meters in length but fitted passing to the side of the mast.  The ratchet allowed to torque with little angle movement between the mast and the bulkhead.  Pneumatic oil was used as lubricant.
The headstay ram allows the mast rake adjustment and is controlled by the cockpit pedestal.
