tuning the rig
First You have to borrow or buy a rigging tension gage, for the size wire on your standing rig, then remove all the wire rings from you open turnbuckles, locate a small plastic jug with a handle so that you can secure the main halyard to it, make sure the jug is filled, so to ack as your plumb bob, now adjust the head or back stay to achieve the desired rake, which is about 8", the main hal, s/b aft of your mast, then adjust your upper shrouds, so that the main hal, is on the same center as your main mast track, then adj. your dbl lowers, the gage will tell you just how tight each wire should be. good luck.
