Question on standing rigging.
Should the end caps of the spreaders capture the upper shroud and hold it firmly in place once the end caps are tightened on?
If so, should I stress the section of the shroud between the spreader end cap and the upper attachment point of the shroud so as to remove the slack before tightening end cap of the spreader and capturing the shroud?
This puts upward pull on the spreaders while they are sitting on the saw horses. I figure tightening down the shroud to the deck wilful the spreaders down a bit.
