Title: C34 tall rig shroud tention (in lbs)
Post by: nickseeger on May 13, 2006, 06:20:20 AM

I have a 1989 C34 with a tall rig, large Genoa and standard main sail. None of the literature / manuals indicate what range, in (US) pounds, my shroud tention should be. Can anyones tell me, or point me in the direction where I can find the standard lbs tention for all shrouds? Thanks.

This is a seat of the pants discussion of simple tuning that does not require gauges or tension measurements... the concept can be applied to any boat.
