OSD, would you please let this learner know the program you used to determine this? I have no clue and have wondered oftentimes,

Thanks,

Jeremy.

Is this the rule of thumb, not counting the stripper and tiptop, "length in feet plus one" and then using the outcome as input for a guide spacing program?

Karel

Karel is correct

a good guide spacing program can be downloaded at Chris Carlin's web site
