All,I've never touched standing rigging before, but since there's only 350lbs on my starboard forward lower and windward performance on the starboard tack is terrible...it is time to go at it.Before I spend all day twisting, turning, and trying to check for 10lb differences to make sure I'm going the right way, which direction do you turn the turnbuckle to tighten?Standing looking down at the turnbuckle, clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten?My C28 has what I consider "standard turnbuckle's where you just remove the 2 cotter pins, put a wrench anywhere on the flattened surface and turn.What do you do if you have the turnbuckle as tight as it can go and you need to go more? Is replacing the shroud the only solution?Thanks,Mike ElmoreWindward HullC28 - Hull #7
