How tight should your mast stays be? Does it mater what size of boat? Mine is a 1981 27, Where do I find the specs on my boat?

Rigging

Your question needs to be more specific. Forestay and backstay first (determines mast rake), then shrouds. Like, what wire type and diameter? There are rules of thumb for unloaded tensions, then fine tuning under load. The refined question is half the answer. Regards, Jim.
