Does anyone have recommended shroud tensions for a Beneteau Oceanis '351 with in mast furling? I emailed Beneteau and they don't have anything more than what is in the manual. I was hoping to get a list of actual shroud tensions which could be applied and measured. Thanks.

tension

I have a '94 OC 351 and I recently measured tensions. However my boat is in Canada getting and engine rebuild so I won't be able to get to the figures for about a month. email me at parker1949@hotmail.com and I'll send them when I get my boat back.

How about backstay tension?

I also wonder about shroud and backstay tension. My Beneteau 323 has a split backstay, and when we stepped the mast we had major difficulty attaching the backstays at the stern. we even had added an extra shackle to get enough length. (Double turnbuckles provided by the factory wouldn't reach). Also had a difficult time detaching the rig when we went into winter storage. another part of the problem is even with the apparent shortness of the backstays, the forestay still sags when sailing in moderate to heavy air.
