Hi, I just bought a Hunter 320 and I would like to know if someone would know the recommended tensions for the shrouds. I am using a Loos PT2-pro Rig tension. In the Hunter manual there is no indication for this :confused:.

Thanks in advance!

Tensions are generally based on wire size. If you rarely sail in strong winds, 10% breaking strength is a decent place to start. If it is not in the manual, contact Hunter for a definitive answer. Most 320's are in-mast furling (right?) so there will probably be no mast bend to consider.

Thanks for the reply Clark. I also sent an email to then and they just replied back with the recommandation of 20% and a sheet as reference.

You could also check Brian Toss books and video. I understand typically tension is set for about 15% breaking strength of the wire.
