I am looking for some direction for setting my initial main outhaul tension on a 77 catalina 22. I have a main outhaul kit on order from CD. But for now, I am using the "origional" method of just attaching the clew with line to the end of the boom, with no ability to adjust while sailing. I have looked at other posts, and the best answer I have found is "tight, but not too tight". there are no markings on the boom for a starting point.
any input would be really appreciated.
