tension

So I've almost got my new to me Venture 21 ready to put on the water. I'm having some questions about the mast stays though. Just how tight should they be? My boat has the Channel style tensioners on the side stays and a typical turnbuckle on the backstay. I have to figure something out for the...

Can anyone give me a good idea how to get the tension right on the forestsy and shrouds on 1996 Hunter 235? I've heard that a run of thumb is not being able to move them more than one inch when you push on it.

I just picked up a OD 222 and can't find any tension settings for my stays and/or riggings. There is a lot of info out there that says "hand tight" but I want to find information I can use with a Loos Gauge. Any help is much appreciated!

I am searching for standing rig tension specs. I have 1/4 forstay, aft and shrouds and 7/32 sways. Loos guide places at 1300 on 1/4 and 1000 on 7/32. I did this but I am hearing the lines strummed by 10-14mph winds at berth. Thanks in advance !
