Hi Everyone,
I wondered for quite a while about how much tension should be on the side stays of my Hunter 140. So, it's time to ask those with experience: When underway and healed in about 15 Knots of wind (small white caps), the leeward side stay is pretty floppy. Is that OK? What do you look for when tuning tension your side stays?
Many thanks,
Columbia River Doug
