    Re-rigging without mast removal.

    '82 Mac25 mast work...step or climb?

    I am the proud new (FIRST TIME) owner of an '82 Macgregor 25. I have it in the water at Lake Lanier (Atlanta). I have the mast up but haven't put the boom on yet. I'm worried about tuning the stays and shrouds. Do I need a tension gauge? I want to mount a Davis Windex 10 and I have a 36"...
