Rigging Tension

[Tom]

I just purchased a Calina 30, very nice but the prior owner just used it as a condo. He never sailed it and the rig needs tuning. Does anyone know the tensions for the standing rigging? Any help would be apprciated. Thanks

Loos guage

Tom,Buy a Loos gauge that will fit the rigging. Follow the set up instructions that come with the gauge. Then you can fine tune from those settings for your (light) wind conditions.
