Hi, does anybody know what the rig tension should be on my shrouds of my 3079 winderbox cheers. |
Tight enough to get a bit of a twang out of the rigging when you ping the shroud. Any more and it is the boat that will bend, not the mast, in a high bow tank hull. When sailing it is mainsheet tension that keeps the jib luff tight. See link. http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/library/how_to/tuning_older_boats.htm |
