Would anyone have a guide to tuning the rig for a Beneteau First 38? We have the original mast, but replaced the standing rigging in 2017. We have a friend who knows the procedure and has the Loos Gauge, but he wanted to know if we had a tuning guide. We know the wire used, but not the "type".

Is it a Z-Spar mast? If so, check on the USSPARS.com site. Or, call them, their rigger is helpful.

See the Beneteau owner's manual attached starting on page 6.
I think the manual is for an s5. The question is for 1984 First 38, which is what I have and the rigging is wire, not rod.

Unfortunately I am unable to provide the answer to Lee's question, but would be very interested to see a response as I also am looking to tune my rigging.
