There was a pro rigger in the marina a few weeks back up from the keys to do a big job on another boat and i stopped by to talk some.
Later that day he saw me up the mast and stopped over and looking / giggled at my rigging commented that it was very loose.
I asked him if he would have time to make the needed adjustment but he never got around to it.
So now i have been worried and reading about this issue and borrowed a tension tool.
I used a Harken pro tune digital tension gage.
I want to post my reading here for comments and suggestion due to the fact that i am not sure whats good or bad.
I am not a racer and the oday manual does not seem to provide this information.
I did not get a chance to read the backstay and do not know how to read the forestay since i have roller furling?
I understand there is a proccess when tweaking the cables somewhat....as far as which to do first i mean...
Baseline readings were
Port upper 352 lbs
Port lwr fwd 253 lbs
Port lwr aft 451 lbs
Starb uppr 343 lbs
Starb lwr fwd 319 lbs
Stard lwr aft 326 lbs
Thank in advance
